Just interested to hear if any members own any and if so were they hard to get?

It's not the obtaining of the licence.....it's the pain in the ass travelling to shoot the things......Bisley the Charmouth tunnel or barbican armoury....are the only 3 that I know of....?

there's 10 on that list - IIRC the 1066 club got their 7.3 status in the last year or so, there's also a thread on here about a new one starting up in Scarborough.
So not great but mostly doable within 100 miles of anywhere....ish

I'm just starting with this. Getting my first pistol delivered to Bisley any day now. First shoot is on Sunday ... quite excited!

Is there?! How did I miss that. Search provides no clues - any links?

Hmmm, it might have been a post on airgun bbs - and in fact Bridlington not Scarborough.
I've pm'd you the contents of an email convo I had with the guys involved.

Are there any members of the Leicester Shooting Centre here? I've just left another voicemail having heard nothing from them the last time I tried.
