LONG RANGE CAPT Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 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:- From the final target area looking back to the Firing Point:- Drone footage of area (click on link and paly in HD):- https://www.facebook.com/marc.gardner.94/videos/1483329035072706/ Targets / Gongs will be place every 100m out to a mile. All set to open July 2017 I was also shown the onsite accommodation available - and if definitely beats Bisley:- The House Living Room Dining Room Bedroom 1 Twin room Bunk Room Bathroom Kitchen The onsite accommodation for the range has the following facilities:- 2 x Bathrooms 3 x Bedrooms (sleeps 6) Pet friendly Fully catered dining available or self catering if required Fully kitted kitchen and washing facilities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LONG RANGE CAPT Posted May 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 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? For further details regarding the range contact Marc Gardner at Gardners Guns on 01228 792535 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panda Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 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.

Treedave Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 I heard that it's going to be members only, is this the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhhudson Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Are the sheep in the first photo classed as moving targets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elk hunter Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 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.

LONG RANGE CAPT Posted May 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 From the conversation I had yesterday it's members only (membership being £100 per year) then a small range fee each time you shoot. There will as I understand it be guest membership. Kind regards Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 Are the sheep in the first photo classed as moving targets? That was my first thought.~Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 That was interesting. Nice rifles. Anybody know far that target was at the cut bank? And the size of the target? It's hard to tell from the vid.~Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gandy Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 I started chuckling to myself thinking I would be a smart arse asking if the targets were too small for 100 yards, until the targets were shown in context below. Looks cracking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
