We use Barton Road, which is 1,200 yards.
Up for replicating it?!

Which is precisely why Lord Cullen did not recommend a handgun ban after Dunblane.Sim G wrote:There was a submission to the Cullen Inquiry by a General Wheeler, I think, who was head of Army training. In it he stated had it not been for the advances in pistol shooting, particularly around IPSC, UKSF would have been at a massive disadvantage with this weapon system. I have it somewhere, I’ll look it up.
Some of those “Cake Eaters” in Whitehall need to be reminded that some of the spectacular results in Iraq and Afghanistan began on the ranges with civilians....
Throbbers.
If that was the case it would surely apply to ALL ranges, not just Field-Fire ranges.If it was the case that the MOD didn't want civilian clubs to use their ranges, particularly those on actual military training areas like Sennybridge/Salisbury Plain etc they would just blanket ban it and being the military I doubt they'd have to give a reason.I think I'm right in saying the the US military, as an example, don't allow the civilian use of their ranges at all.Thorney wrote:Was curious, I share the view that it does feel like the mod are trying to stop civilian use almost as a backdoor to a conspiracy to limit firearms usage
