New Range Scotland

#1 Post by 25Pdr »

Just discovered new (to me) clay/full-bore range in Scotland.

http://www.mortonclaytargets.co.uk/

They have an 6 lane full-bore range 3300fps/5200ft/lbs Expanding ammo allowed, £25 per person an hour. Must have Target shooting on FAC.

Not getting any full-bore just now what with the weather, Gareloch and Castlelaw Military ranges being shut just now.

Investigating Club rates, also fancy just going for a personal fun shoot now and again.

Anybody been yet?

£25 an hour!!!, that seems very steep :bad:

Regardless, I wish I had one within 50 miles...
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

The tunnel range near Jedburgh is supposedly asking £60/£70 per hour...though they're a Bisley franchise, so no surprise at M25 prices...

Morton drops to £20 for members, or £30 for two sharing a lane....though I've not confirmed this in person yet.

I know drawing a comparison to a tunnel range that will have been made at great expense to an above ground range is not plain sailing but according to this link these guys charge £10 for access to their range + £50 annual fee.

Good for them getting a new range built.
