Spanner in the works 4.6l range rover :roll: works out approx £160 in petrol
Oh well will have to see when it is maybe the bank balance will be a bit healthier by then

What is a Sapper? This versatile genius condenses the whole system of military engineering and all that is useful and practical. He is a man of all work of the Army and the public ready to do anything or go anywhere, in short, he is a Sapper.

Kev, you me, a load of guns and ammo in my Ford Ka.......... a squash, but a lot cheaper!!!
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Wouldn't mind making the trip, so long as it doesn't clash with work. Is it possible to have 2-3 dates to see which one gets most people? Don't mind helping out in any way I can.

Sounds like a plan.

Now camping would be a great idea Ovenpaa. Get a bbq fired up,ha few beers and some banter.
It's not the pace of life that concerns me, it's the sudden stop at the end!

Re: Full Bore - UK Annual shoot?
I'm up for it depending on the date not clashing with other commitments, Heathers idea of a few dates and going for the most takers sounds like a plan

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools!!

Diggle has a full calendar of shoots covering all disciplines - see www.diggleranges.com for the calendar.
Guests are always welcome at any of these shoots.
Alternatively, the ranges get very little use during the week - the range could be booked exclusively for the forum members. Any distance from 100 to 1000 yards with covered firing points if wet!
The Diggle daily range fee is £15. However, the ranges can be hired for the day from £250 - i.e for 25 shooters it would only be a tenner each.
There is plenty of accommodation in the area, limited bunkhouse accommodation on range and room for a few tents.
I suspect the problem may be agreeing what to shoot.
Cheers
