Which force asked for those social media details? That is totally outside the HO guidance.DammitMissedAgain wrote: ↑Sun Jun 23, 2024 9:18 amFor my grant application last year I was asked to give usernames for the forums and socials that I use.

A perfect example of club management narrow way of thinking ...they believe the ventilation is acceptable for air rifle shooting , but wont improve it for firearms users because they believe " we have to balance capital costs versus benefit versus return "1066 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 28, 2024 10:55 am That's it in a nutshell Dromia.

Some of the worst cases of the "I'm all right jack" mentality I've come across have been from the old school local club .22 prone shooters. It's not only that they can't see the point of someone wanting to own more than one rifle they seem to be in the camp where they would actually ban anything that doesn't conform to their way narrow of thinking.
I shoot at a range that is cleared for .45 but the "committee" decided that they would only allow .38 because they don't want big holes in the linatex. They nearly had a fit when I said I wanted to use my .357 Winchester 94ae and I had a real job to convince them that .357 and .38 was the same calibre and I could hand load to the same spec as the Magtec .38 cowboy loads they sold for use on the range.MistAgain wrote: ↑Fri Jun 28, 2024 7:37 pmA perfect example of club management narrow way of thinking ...they believe the ventilation is acceptable for air rifle shooting , but wont improve it for firearms users because they believe " we have to balance capital costs versus benefit versus return "1066 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 28, 2024 10:55 am That's it in a nutshell Dromia.
