Interesting - what is the hire charge for an AR-15?

[shugie]

Looks interesting, if potentially rather muddy. Is this sort of entertainment AR-15 only?

No, any center-fire rifle with detachable 10 round magazine will generally do as long as its not HME.

Any takers?

I am interested but not sure of my on call schedule yet for Nov, also I don't have a Shooter Certification Card thingy yet. Full FAC and I could use my AK, vz58 or No4. I guess I need to do the Shooter Certification part first. CSR would probably be the main thing I would think to go to Bisley for.
