The National Body General Discussion section is exactly that, a section for all of us to discuss the National Bodies and what they are up to.

If you are in a position that can be compromised by what you are saying on here because someone takes offense and tells your colleagues or your sponsor and that in turn means you are being punished for your posts on here, think before you post!

A low season target with marker costs £58.50 for four hours, so if you don't actually know any other shooters who qualify to share a target with, (and if you do, try getting them all there at the same time!!), the NRASC is a cost effective alternative.

That's view that matches my experience.
Careful now/that sort of thing

I think it is Fab and has really helped me get into full bore cost effectively. I have also made great friends and been able to receive and offer advice.

Will drop you a PM. I have just become a full member of the NRA so can shoot outside of my current club, are there any GR intro sessions? I would need to hire or borrow a rifle as my .22LR is a hunting rifle.

Unfortunately, I don't know the charging basis, and I've just had a look at the NRA website, which is a bit out of date on this subject (It shows a 2012 list, but there is a 2013 list of guns for hire on issue) and doesn't include the critical element of how much.

Will try to get that fixed when I get back to work tomorrow.

Really sorry this week has been just too busy to deal with this. NRASC are at Bisley tomorrow and I am duty manager - I will ask prices.

Firearm hire is £5 per half day for each firearm that you hire. Ammunition is charged according to calibre and brand. It costs £20 per half day to shoot with the NRASC. All firearms need to be booked in advance.

£40 a day to shoot with the NRASC? a bit pricey, the last time any of our members paid that much was when only 2 of them turned up ! how many people turn up for NRASC shoots ?

For the NRASC there is no low season that I am aware of. It is £20 per half day. This seems expensive but when you consider that there are targets on Century,Short Siberia, Stickledown (all with markers that have to be paid for) and a bay on Melville there is an awful lot of shooting that is available. The NRASC has to pay the full cost of the facilities and any 'profit' is re-invested into the NRA's firearms and equipment. If you are only shooting at one range/distance it will always be cheaper to organise a target yourself and get a few mates to help with the costs.

Alex: It costs myself and five friends approx. £11 each for a half day mid-week, during which we would normally expect to get through 50 rds each.
We have a routine which maximises our use of the time available, and allows a break for the marker at half time.
