Elwood Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 This ones aimed at anyone who shoots at Diggle, Baldie , Ronin etc. Can anyone recommend accommodation around the Diggle range, and do they have rifle storage facility's at the range? Having never shot at Diggle I have no idea about the range layout, but I'm told they have a very tricky wind, so for the 500/600 F class shoot in April would I be better off using my 7WSM which will handle the wind better or the more accurate 6BR?

6mmBR Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Ian I would use every inch of wind advantage that you could get. Doesn't take much to push a small light bullet out of the V bull. Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Ian if I am off (and I havent checked yet as they are messing with the shifts) I will be shooting the comp - you can stop at my gaff if that suits and travel 1hr each way each day with me. There was a list posted last year of various hotels / pubs that Mik, Les or Stuart compiled.... I would opt for the 7mm, it gets a mite windy very quickly - calm it very rarely is.

Gun Pimp Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Elwood, Only just seen your post re accommodation at Diggle. First off - glad you are coming, it will be a great weekend. Yes - we do have a large safe for rifle storage but obviously there is a limit - most take their rifles with them. Most of the hotels/guest houses/B&Bs are used to having shooters stay. You seem to be fixed up accommodation-wise but there are lots of small places within a few minutes of the range. 7mm or 6BR? Mmmm...............bring both - it might be windy......... Cheers Vince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldie Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 How did you get on Ian ? wasn,t it this weekend just gone ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elwood Posted March 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 How did you get on Ian ? wasn,t it this weekend just gone ? I hope not Dave because I wasn't there. Next week end is the F class training week end which should be a great help to a novice such as myself, even though I do already shoot F class with another club. The first F class match is at Diggle in April. It's all getting a bit expensive now, I'm even having to buy a bigger car to get all my kit in!
