The UK's Finest Independent Forum for Shooters and Gun Owners. Est 2010.

Diggle accept visitors for four visits per year. Visitor fee is £15. However, there is no restriction on national comps - like UKBRA, GBFCA etc.

We run monthly tactical shoots and McQueen comps. ('tactical' usually means shot from a bi-pod (but not always) with multiple choice or moving targets usually at more than one distance).

Distances are usually 100 to 600 yards but we occasionally do 800 - 1000 yds.

Any centrefire rifle is OK. I use an 8.5-25 Leupold but you may as well buy something like an 8-32 Sightron and be done with it. Calibres? 308 is popular, so is 6.5x47 and 260 Rem

Thanks Gun Pimp, thats awesome and given me some food for thought, thanks very much :-)

Would a 5.56 be suitable and is the shooting based on accuracy or a case of knocking multiple targets down? I assume their site would be the best place for info on the various comps?

A 5.56/223 is fine. All competition shooting is accuracy based but usually, in our tactical comps, if you choose a smaller target it gets you more points - if you hit it! The emphasis is on fun - always with safety uppermost of course.
