Hi,
Does NRA Bisley have a facility / range for shotgun pattern testing ? If not, does anyone know another range / clay ground in the south east where this is possible ?
Thanks

NRA doesn't have one, BSG does.

You could book butt zero and ask for a four foot target, lot of patching 'though! :lol:

Any shooting school will have a pattern plate. Are you working on gun fit or just testing different cartridges ?

NRA does have shotgun pattern testing facilities.
There are two pattern boards to the left of skeet layout A at the top of the hill on the NCSC clay ranges.
NCSC is a wholly owned subsidiary of NRA.
Funnily enough I was asked the exact same question at work a couple of days ago.

Get a great big sheet of card board put it up somewhere safe put a black mark in the center and aim at it and shoot it! Your pattern will tell you if your aim is off or if indeed you have a spread or pattern issue, I recommend a distance that is comfortable for you that you take clays or birds at......ide also try some 30 meter stuff too......
