Different subject......

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...

 

i will definitely be up for this it depends when it is with my busy social calender

put me down for this paul

 

Yeah that sounds like a good idea last time I shot a gun was in the states years and years ago

 

me too, used to be a good shot in my army days is this at the armoury in stockport?

 

Me too

 

I was a bad shot in my airforce days, but we didn't need it, we had all the Dumb ***** from the army to defend us followed by officers in planes . but it may be interesting to see if im a better shot than the pongo's such as CW42 and Andy S!!

 

6 of us so far....

 

Paul looks like you are organising your first meet

 

ok, no problem.......... If I wait any longer for the "oldham run" I'll be too old to drive ! !

 

I'd be up for that as well.

Do they have any real guns or are they all .22? cos 25 metres! are you sure there not air rifles

 

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/

 

Nice one I never knew that existed and I lived in Marple!!

 

Think you need to start a new thread Paul

 

Military use 5.56 rifles on 25 m ranges - and i still strugle to get a good grouping on them

 

can i come or is it a " man " thing ?????

 

From there web site

 

cool put me down then

just dont pick the wrong week

 

class

 

Used to own one of these.

http://www.straightshooters.com/theoben/thrapid12.html

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.

 

I'd dtill struggle to get a good grouping with that!

 

I've not long dropped my Bro in town, we took his car - 306 xsi, its got something called a 1000w sub woof woof or sub dog or something, anyway got to get me one it makes new order blu monday sound like its being played in a Night Club, all i needed was some neons and tinted windows and i'd ave been real cool and dig diggying it

Put the wife down as well No really, put her down

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
