Update on New Mile Long Range


Recommended Posts

Just wanted to give an up date to my previous post:-

 

http://ukvarminting.com/forums/topic/37240-new-mile-long-shooting-range-in-the-uk/?hl=mile

 

Having visited today to see the progress the new range I thought I would share with everyone a bit more info and pics.

 

1. The scale and the beauty of this place really has to be seen to be believed and the pics and video don't quiet do it the justice that it deserves by seeing it for real but hopefully it gives you an idea of the place.

 

Looking down the range from the Firing Point:-

Wonder if it will be brought into the F Class league as a possible venue?

 

From speaking with Marc Gardner - there will be provision for F Class shooter.

 

Looks fantastic!! Is the range up and running?

15 or so miles from Lockerbie judging by the OS map on the other thread - Holm & Clerkhill

Don't think it's Clerkhill. I live and work fairly local and I'd say the accommodation is about 7 miles from Eskdalemuir...... but I could be proved incorrect, and as Marc (as far as I know) hasn't released the location I'm not going to say where it is exactly.

Has it been passed by the Scottish police as I've not heard anything.

Is it an open ticket venue or can anyone with a target condition on their fac use it.

 

With the right to roam are there going to be red flags everywhere.
