Family Day - July 2013

We had a super day, dull and a bit cool to start with but warmed up enough for most folk to sit about outside. Ian and family did a great job with the hog roast, the meat was beautiful

The archery and air pistols proved popular again this year

Wednesday afternoons

If the police are not using the range on a Wednesday afternoon, we have permission for members to use the range.

This is for full members only, no guests or visitors. A minimum of two full members must be present and one must be a non-shooting RO.  If you are interested in shooting on Wednesday afternoons, please ask a committee member for details of combination locks, location of keys etc. You will be responsible for getting out the red flags and targets and putting them away again.

It is advisable to check with Carl in advance to see if the range is available.

Thursday Evening Shooting *** NEW ***

Evening shooting has started again now the lighter evenings have arrived and this year Carl has decided that the Sunday Club can shoot on Wed evenings and we can shoot on Thursday evenings from now on.

It is less formal than Saturday shooting, but is still essential that all the usual safety rules apply. Club rules apply on Thursday evening as well as Saturday. There must be a minimum of two full members present, with one as a non-shooting RO at all times. Shooters have responsibility for opening and locking up. Usually only small numbers of shooters attend, but the shooting is usually very good as the wind often drops in the early evening. Club rifles/ammo will NOT be available and there is no guarantee that a committee member will be present.

Thursday evening shooting is for full members only, no probation members as there's no one available to supervise them. Under no circumstances can guests be brought to the range - the only time guests can shoot is on an official guest day, with prior notice.

Anyone wanting to shoot on Thursday evenings should have a word with a committee members for the combination lock codes and information about opening/closing and completing the log book.
