LBR/LBP on MOD ranges ?

[flamoudi]

I tried a search but couldn't find an answer.

Was there a ban from MOD ranges of using LBR/LBP a while back and does it still apply? We have bookings at a MOD range coming up.

Thanks

Yes, because they were not of a “category” allowed by the Home Office for an approved club. Same with s1 shotguns and Long Range pistols, I believe.

Now the hard bit. Anyone have the notice that says you can't use them? I haven't seen it in the particular ranges standing orders.

It was some diktat that came from Landmarc and their operating restrictions blah, blah, blah. I’d ask the question in your local defence estate. However, I reckon you’ll get just as much guff. It seems like the military are now morphed into the civil service with a plethora of reasons and confusion as to why things can’t happen, rather than just making them happen.

Yesterday we had a deranged WO2 Cabbage Head strutting around and stopped the shooting because of car parking!! Justified it with, “If an ambulance needed to get down there…!!”

Meanwhile, just about all the ex-squaddies in the club, and there’s lot of them, were all thinking, “Oh, just eff off you Throbber!!”
