Was wondering if anyone had heard anything further about this range / club in the Silverstone area? Last I heard was planning stages.

Still at planning. Proper fight with some local anti gunners but we've done a lot of work to show that it won't be noisy and there's been a recent successful appeal oop north which helps us as well.

We will know by mid March.

Good luck with it, really hope it comes off as there's a load of "locals" who'll be queuing up to have a go party2

Good luck with it all be good to have another local range

Thanks for the update. Keeping my fingers crossed that it goes well for you.

Any idea whereabouts "oop north" that appeal was?

Prospect park shooting centre, Warrington I think. I have all the details somewhere.

The bottom line is that planning for shooting ranges is tough s there appears to be a fundamental negative view against them at a council level which is effectively illegal, there's re a few of us now looking to challenge this legally.

Any further updates on this? I heard it could have fullbore and practical shotgun range.
We could really do with these type of facilities in the area

Good luck, it's heartening to hear of a (possible) new range opening instead of one closing.

Found the petition to show interest in this range at R&K Stockcraft last weekend and signed up!
