11 October 100 yard Gallery Rifle – Booking Closed

Booking closed

Schedule :- 201011 100 Gallery Rifle

We will only shoot one to a target and allow 10 minutes for the change over.

You will need to supply your own patches so there is no sharing

See you on Sunday

You can buy target patches at Multiplex Patches or Amazon Link below to to a uk company we have used so dont delay in ordering if you dont have any patches to hand

https://www.multiplexpatches.co.uk/

If you wish to add a replacement target then you have to bring your own staple gun. No sharing is permitted.

You will get a 20 minute shooting slot as before but there will be a 10 minute change over to allow for the patching etc.

Booking is Open

I have added a few pics to the Pictures page (thanks Chris)

Note – (Rant)

Someone (who will remain nameless) advise me that they had not read the notes on the shooting procedure and did not stick to the regulations as set out.

I have to say this is really slefish and we all depend on all those shooting to take care to be aware of the range instructions (there are specific pages on this site for this).

Please read the range instructions for these shoots and If you cant be bothered or think they dont apply to you then please dont come to the range again. We depend on everyone behaving responsibly so we can all continue to shoot and keep going.

Its not a big ask so please comply.

Sunday 27 300x Booking Closed, Squadding published and Shooting update

First – Shooting update

Based on the latest Gov restrictions and the advice from BASC I figure we are ok to continue as we are as we are currently meeting the guidelines / Restrictions.

You can read the advice in full from BASC here:-  Click here

It looks as if we are ahead of the game on this and we remain compliant. It remains for all those attending to be vigilant and not to hang around before or after your shoot. There must be at least 2m distance between those waiting to shoot and those shooting / finishing their shoot. Please comply.

With that in mind I have opened the booking early and I will publish the list next Friday 25th.

Gallery Rifle

We have been discussing the possibility of having a 100 yard Gallery Shoot. We can only use 4 targets per detail and we might have to shorten the shooting a bit to cover the need to change / patch the targets.

The sticking point is the time to patch up and the patches themselves. So if we run this you will need to bring your own patches so we don’t share anything.

If you are interested in a Gallery shoot and you are booking a slot for the next shoot and are interested in a Gallery shoot and if you are prepared to provide your own patches then let me know. If there is enough interest we will run one.

Be careful and see you soon.

Bookings for Sunday is now closed. The list is confirmed below:-

200927 Range Booking 300x

Dont forget to be careful and leave the range after your shoot.

See you Sunday.

 

6 September 2020 600 Practice – Booking Closed

Booking is now closed for the 600 yard practice on 6 September.

Here is the list

200906 Range Booking

See you then

You all know the drill and I will post the squadding on the Friday before the shoot.
While writing I have to thank the two Andy’s and Sid for undertaking remedial work on the targets. The targets are taking a bit of a battering these days and we need them to work for us all as Manual targets aren’t really practical at the moment.
This means you doing your part and making sure you aim for the centre of the targets and not using an un-zeroed gun. There was some considerable evidence of shots going near the wiring and potential taking the targets out of commission.
The evidence found lodged in the target is below.

Please be careful and take care.
Thanks again for the sterling work of the team who in their own time keep the targets running and us shooting.

200719 Range Booking Final

 

We have amended the next shoot to be at 200 yards and the booking is now open

I have added new pages to the web site one for the booking procedure and one about club notices. Read the booking procedure as it saves repeating it each time.

The booking will be closed on the Friday before the shoot.

The email address, in case any of you are tempted to email something different is:-

dorkingr@gmail.com

The penalties for non-compliance are noted on the booking procedure page – you have been warned.

21 June  500 Practice Booking Closed & Updated

The Range Booking is finalised and below:-

200721 Range Booking

See you Sunday at your allotted time.

If there is a problem then let me know.

Above is a picture from the last shoot and it went well for the most part. There are some things to make clear as we work out the details:-

  1. Turn up, Shoot and Go. Love to see all of you and I think we all are happy to meet those we haven’t seen for a while but you have to leave after your shoot. We can’t have too many people hanging around. Nothing personal but off you go!
  2. Booking has gone ok and I will try to acknowledge a booking request. I had hoped to avoid this as it increases the workload but I will send you a one liner if I have had a booking request.
  3. If you didn’t get a reply and your name doesn’t appear on the list then ask on Friday, Don’t just turn up. We managed a few muddles last time but the shoots are filling up quickly and it won’t always be possible to move tings around.
  4. Thanks for waiting for the shoot booking to be opened. Please stick to the booking time and don’t email outside this as it makes it more work.
  5. If you have booked and can’t make it then please let me know as we can move someone else in. We had two no shows last time.

So that’s it for now, email your booking requests and we will see you on Sunday at 500 yards
