Does anyone fancy going to a shooting range ? ?
I've been emailing a local range and they say £20 per person, using .22 rimfire carbines, either bolt action or semi auto. Shooting over 25 metres. Probably with 20 shots.
For £20 you get gun hire, ammo (20 shots), targets (which you will keep), ear muffs and tea/coffee. Its in stockport.
Maximum of 20 people. 4 people on the range at once. It will be either a Monday or Tuesday evening.
If there is enough interest I will start a seperate thread about it...

Not sure about the guns. Doesn't really say in my email from them. I'm not bothered either way because it will be a laugh. I'll email them and find out more,
Heres the website. http://www.marplerifleandpistolclub.org.uk/

10) Can women participate without disadvantage? Yes, very definitely since strength is not a major issue.
11) Are women welcome to join the Club? Yes, we encourage ladies to come and have a go in all disciplines.

Owned the .20 variety and had to have a class 1 firearms license. The police deem this rifle more dangerous than a shot gun.
Will hit a target 80m out with this and get good grouping.

SHOOTING
NURBURGRING TRIP
TRACKDAY
LOTS OF DRIVES OUT
BIG WELSH TRIP INCLUDING KARTING
SEPERATE KARTING EVENT
VIDEO GAMES NIGHT AT MINE
That should keep us busy for the rest of the year, please feel free to step forward and organise an event
No, really!
Chris.

Well some bloke challenged me to a dual tonight at the lights me in my Scoob and him on his bike - he roared off and left me for dead - the next thing he's attempting to take this roundabout like Valentino Rossi in the wet and ends up on his **** sliding down the road inh a shower of sparks.
he was fine but the bike was a bit sore to say the least - the thing is he told me it was his girlfriends
doghouse or what

What a ****! I was coming down the Cat and Fiddle this afternoon at my usual pace, in the snow (Yes there was about 6 inches on the ground, enough for the plough to come out) and all the bikers where doing about 10mph! Like little mobile road block they where However most of them where taking shelter in the Cat and fiddle.

I admit i feel a little guilty as i took the bait somewhat but i did drive well within my own limits (and the law) i knew he was heading for a spill the speed he went into the corner - i mean ffs he has a contact patch the size of my palm, luckily he was not hurt but you could tell he was so embarrassed
