Whilst you're at it - I can't understand how an ex-home guard range is only authorised upto 38 special limits when clearly it's had full power 303 rounds shot at it in the past!
I think they may have built houses behind the range, changing the limits for misses, but I'm not sure TBH.

The membership are far from united. Seems like the same old story of the select-few making the decisions. I can't complain though, I missed the last AGM as I was away, I'll have to attend the next one and see what comes up.
Aye that berm at the back is fairly tall though innit - you'd have to aim at something like 1800! MOA to clear it I think? (even from the ISO containers maybe?)

Good luck at the AGM - remember if committee proposes something you don't like, you can immediately (ie before it's voted on) propose a counter to it - that is then voted on and carried or not. The original proposal becomes moot therafter, you need to get the AGM well attended - hopefully with like minded (ie open minded) people such that you can make changes for the better. Just remember there's a way of doing this without anyone losing face and taking bat and ball home - after all, we're all in this together even though we seem to be working against each other at times, and we want more people shooting not less (ego's are a fragile thing!).

You're not wrong, though we're only allowed to shoot .22lr at the 100m point :-( I was wondering how far the .38spl would reach :-)
Judging by the issues were facing with PSG I think there may be a few more ready to attend the AGM next time.
Thanks for the advice pal

But we're spending the budget on a 25m range, let's hope the nsra cover that!
Aren't we also NRA affiliated, don't we get insurance with that too?
