That bald headed Geordie Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 Just after a shooters perspective/comments on the Eskdalemuir range run by Gardner Guns in Carlisle. I usually shoot at Diggle (benchrest/f class/fun shoots) and just fancy a try at longer ranges (when things get back to normal) than 1000yds with my .284 Win f class rifle for a bit of fun, and just after some info. Any comments appreciated. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you care to elaborate! A few basic questions for you. Does the firing point/points have benches or is it all lying down. Once you get set up can you see all of the targets and fire from one point only. Can you see bullet splash on all longer range targets mantlet areas if you are off slightly.

YES Can you see bullet splash on all longer range targets mantlet areas if you are off slightly. YES in that there's back stops to hit, if you're well off then NO. the 1000yd is especially good in that respect. 1 mile also. 2 mile - well, never got there....

Just looking at various types of adjustable scope mounts as I will only be able to get out to 1200 yards using my existing set up. Might have found one from Oz which looks ok to get me out to at least Durham lol. Les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The presentation was videod but the link to it on Dropbox is no longer active. We’ve been told it’ll be back soon but nothing more than that. The photo uploaded shows the costs. Silver is the minimum level you have to join on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srvet Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 I got sent a pdf with the details of Brownridge. It looks to be a fantastic facility, but for me it is much further away than Eskdalemuir and a lot more expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
