Private Marker

Any news on this Ronin? We are now down to two dogs, after losing the older lurcher last week

Some butt markers already wear PPE then again some wear none at all.....

Is this the same incident?

You do need to be an NRA member, or be a member of an affiliated club. The target is up to you. If you go manual, do get in touch with me if you need a private marker.

Welcome to the forum Tello!

I would have called 999 too. Usually "shots fired" gets the plod's attention.

I have to disagree about the emissions and fuel economy. I have a 1988 7.5 ton Ford Cargo. Minimec mechanical pump, nearly 7L Dover six pot 5 speed manual. No air ride seats, no aircon, not even an immobiliser. Driven carefully, I get 25-30mpg. That's MPG many modern transit custom owners would kill for. The emissions have passed the VOSA commercial MOT consistently.

electronics. Exactly. Anything you fill with electronics will suffer some way or another. Take the two and a quarter out, stick a Di in (sans PATS obv) and off you go. Again and again and again.

Harsh. Define reliable. Does it start in all weathers? Stop when you want it to? Change gear when required? That's the test of reliability. Up to recently, the real defender did all of those things. A nice comfy seat, metallic paint and on board computer that tells you the outside temperature and how many miles to new gearbox oil is not a measure of reliability. I suspect the army won't be taking the latest landy into a battle situation.

To be fair, landies were never meant to be be big load carriers. Now even less so.

Just pop rivet a nice big chequer plate onto the bonnet. That will do it!

I bet they don't.

I'm in lurve!

I bet the army are desperate to buy a load of those new defenders

Not at all. What I called unbelievable was the construction quality and location of the range. I doubt anybody on here would disagree that there was no common sense applied to either aspects, let alone how the place was operated. The law should be basically common sense, and enforcing it is the last resort when common sense isn't present. How is that condemning any law abiding shooters?

Same old thing. The people who abide by the rules are inconvenienced, those that don't aren't.

I bought Shooters Aid ear plugs, very happy with them. I wear them every day at work

Now that is unbelievable.

From next Tuesday the reopening will be completed.

I'm not having a go at any legal responsible shooter. I was stunned a bunch of yeehas could poorly construct and operate a firing range so near a motorway and service area. That's the "unbelievable" in the title.

Oh yes, insurance. Why do I think the place in the article had no insurance?

https://ukshootingnews.wordpress.com/2020/07/09/m25-instagram-range-operators-acquitted/ Apologies if this has already been posted, I just came across this today. I was stunned that a poorly designed and built gun range could be allowed anywhere let alone near a motorway. Don't get me started on the "loophole' about gun ownership either!

Ha ha how cute is he? The paws match the ears!

Oh so tempting! Keep me posted!! Despite the other half being put in hospital by a rescue (feral) that had authority issues. Not put us off though.

😁 Yes to JRT! And yes to the target centres, ready and waiting!
