all the best..  Im only a few months behind you!

That is a shame, any blanks going cheap?  have a saseen barrel on my 6.5CM that migt need replacing next year.

Just spoke with the range office , No electronics on Stix "hope to have them back mid to late October, limited targets at 300 and 600 on Century"

Not sure whats happen since but as of a couple of weeks ago there were no Electronics on Stix, so you need to factor in  for a marker.

Did you stay overnight?   Looking for recomendations.

Once Sennybridge F range (1200m) and Javelin Salisbury plain (2000m+) are opened up again, after the field firing ban, then have at it. Both MOD ranges and several clubs can/do book them.

thanks

I think you'll find 1200yds a challenge let alone further 😊

Shot it 3 times a Bisley, with no problem. though TBF very little cross winds.

I'm starting to plan my imminent retirement with the hope in doing as much shooting and fly fishing as possible.  I live 40 mins from Bisley so that’s a lot of the target shooting covered but is there a list of everywhere in the UK where you can target shoot further than 1200yards?

I know about Eskdalemuir, ( handy for the Ettrick and the Tweed 😊 )  I’ve got Orion on the radar, but is there anywhere else? Lydd? ( Driving range in continental Europe would be fine)
 

Thanks

Martin
 

As an alternative to the unobtianable 30cal Berger 230 OTM, I'm getting some 230g Mistral-t's, be interesting to see how they go.

“ A friend” was down as Bisley this AM to 300Y zero his new 300PRC rifle. Did the HME at the zero range with no problem, then hotfooted it of to Century, ( technically he should be WFH from 9pm) 
The electronics targets are working there but the display is small tablet.  Zoom in because he knows he’s close. Fire off a round, elevation close but windage wrong, make adjustments, WTF, the wind must be gusty, more adjustments, more head scratching. 6 rounds fired Then light bulb moment, zoom out, reading glasses on, rotate tablet 90 degrees, undo most of the previous adjustments, V Bull.
Moral of the story, don’t rush it!  Thanks God i wasnt with my Club!
 

Just as a complete contrast to the hussle and bussle of Saturday I'd booked a 300 electronic on Century this AM first thing and I was the only one on the entire range,

I think there was someone on Stix and 2 or 3  on short Siberia but definatly more staff than punters.

Yes, I noticed the petrol smell, I put it down to poor tuning and inefficient engines running overly rich.  Yes, £25k for a scabby wreck!  Oh well us poor Northerners must get by with an' old bike and whippet

I was there early, before 8am when i had my walk around and the smell was pretty intense next to some cars, did you see the rat look '32 coupe? infront of the corner classroom? Asking £75K!

I had a good look round,  What was slightly worrying was the smell of petrol that seemed to be everwhere, and some of the For Sale ad's seem to have IMHO rather optimisitc prices!

But then american cars aren't my thing..

Ive been told by my club, that you may be asked at the gate if you're a shooter, and that they are expecting 2000 extra visitors on site for the show. 

I'll stick with the Clays till the electronics come back.. 🙂

PS: @Ralpharama Ive got some TR score cards for 1000y im happy to send you if you need some?

Guy's a word of caution, we've had two resent club sessions that were supposed to be electronic one at 900 one at 1000, moved onto "manual" and to be honest the quality of the markers has been abysmal.  Hopefully in your case mid week, might mean you get the more professional guys, but the weekend crew are variable to say the least.  

If the phone is a generic  Android  model from China, ( Honor, Poco, etc) just try setting the phone region to outside the EU.  The story is there is a new law in spain that limits phone playback volume, our friends in china have applied this limit to all in the EU and icluded uK  On my Poco G5 setting the region to San Marino has made a massive difference.

I'll have what ever one hasnt been sold please

Thanks guy's and just for clarity I havnt bought any ammo ( except for .22LF) in ages, I reload of all my fullbore calibres.

Not sure where to put this but there goes..

ATM Ive got 250 6.5CM and 250 300PRC on my ticket.. Id like to increase this to 500..

As I shoot most weekends and Im planning a couple of weekends away to orion/eskdale muir (hopefully)  so the 250 allowance means I need to reload at least once a month , but when i do reload Id rather set aside an entire day and load 200+

Does the team think this is a resonable request? ( i dont want to upset Plod!)

Whats happened to RS then?  Nothing on the web site i can see.. Or is it another importation issue?

Memento mori ?

In my case life is to short.. I shoot purely for the joy in it and the odd day when the planets align and the bloody things go where i expect them to.

Other opinions respected.. 🙂

Soory sold..
