All this carp is why I stopped doing fullbore/CF shooting years ago, and just stick to .22rf now. It makes life a lot easier - and cheaper - all round.
Nobody mentioned fish!!!!
So are you saying at Ponteland A range, you would need a north sentry, a south sentry AND someone on the car park gate??? Wouldn't be a bad idea actually, from a security point of view as I have been in the car park when a couple just walked in, nonchalantly walked to the end of the car park, looked like they were pretending to look in the distance and walked back out before I had time to say anything to them.

Its a brave person that steals from a group of armed men

Probably just curious. Like the family a few years ago that bypassed the sentries and then appeared on the top of the backstop and started setting up a picnic to eat while they watched the shooting
