I am glad you join in and have fun, and its a positive that we all know you don't like moderators at 25 yards indoors (yes I think they are a waste of time too, but don't keep mentioning it).

If they are happy they let them be, its their money and they have to spend it on something, it could be worse they could have purchased a dirty smelly black powder revolver :)

I don't need to shoot .22 any more at all if I don't want to. I DON'T WANT TO. Not with the stuff they are shooting any way. I just don't get moderated .22's at 25 yards. I can get away with shooting club guns if I want.. I just wish I had hung on a bit longer because I varied my certificate to loose a slot for a caliber I really wanted to a .22 slot I thought I was going to need.
I really wanted a Nagant sniper for some odd reason. But now I don't have the slot for one.
Oh poo.
You watch some one is going to offer a really good sniper for a really bargain price and I don't have the slot I have been saving since my last renewal any more.

I think we all get the point now Alpha, you have a massive bee in your bonnet about people using moderators on .22 calibre firearms on 25yd ranges, and also you don't like shooting the stuff they do at your new club which I guess is semi auto rifles with scopes and red dots. Each to their own, they might find what ever you are shooting boring and tedious!

With regards to your variation you made, maybe you should have researched your new club more to find out what they could offer you with regards to club firearms.

Live and let live what harm are they doing to you?
You obviously don't know me very well. Believe me I did research this Club before I applied to join its a great facility and they cover all my shooting requirements and some that I am not so keen on . The people are great I'm having a blast. Shooting .22 indoors has obviously changed a lot over the years but so what.
