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

Hi,

I have just joined the forum. I am a long time shooter of .22 air rfles, mainly in the garden etc. but have always been interested in 'more'.

I recently went to Florida on holiday, and organised a morning on a range through Top Gun Tours, which has really sparked my interest in 'more'. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and was very surprised how un restricted shooting is there.

I am now looking to find somewhere nearby where I can go through the process with an aim to shooting full bore, so any advice appreciated.

Richard

Welcome to the F-B(UK) Forum Richard. You need to find a club to join and start your probationary period as quickly as possible so you can find out exactly which shooting disciplines you like.

Meanwhile have a read and ask all the questions you can think of

'ello Richard,

Welcome and do join in, we are a nice bunch of people on here, really

Ipswich, isn't that over there somewhere, to the middle right on the map, must be Grove Small Arms or BRPC territory?
If I am wrong please correct me someone!

Hi and hello.

I work in Ipswich and my club shoots in Essex, we use the MoD ranges in Colchester for full-bore work. You can always shoot with us.

The club house is based in a little village outside Braintree, but we shoot everything and ANYTHING all over Essex.

Richard,

Hello! You have come to the right forum.

Do join in the banter...and welcome!

Welcome.

Richard,

Welcome, there is also a club at Harlow in Essex; not a million miles from you.

They, like almost all the clubs you will encounter, are lovely, friendly people.

I don't know a shooter who isn't keen to help a 'newbie'

:cheers:

Thanks for all your welcomes.

I have looked a Grove Small Arms previously, but not BRPC, so I will have a look for them.

I have also looked at Colchester rifle club, does anyone know them?

Tower.75, what is your clubs name?

I am currently in the process of joining Hadleigh Rifle club (in suffolk, not the one in Essex) for somewhere local to safely shoot my air stuff, they also have a 25m .22 range which I hope to get on when I get a chance, but will be looking for full bore very soon, as I hope to apply for an FAC when my SC is due next year.

Tower.75, what is your clubs name?

The Hertfordshire & Essex Shooting Association Ltd. If you want the full title, , but we're known just as The Herts and Essex.

There's a few members on here.

Just ask if you have any questions.

Greetings
