Target shooting- South London

[hot_fuzz]

Hi

I have a .22 HW45 which I would like to use responsibily in a club setting on either paper or turning/knockdown style targets indoor/outdoor. I could shoot evening after work or occasional weekends

Can any one suggest anywhere local to me where I would be welcolme? I am in Tooting.

Many Thanks
:)

Get on a train and head south to Caterham. Or drive of course.

The Caterham and District Rifle Club (http://www.cdrifleclub.co.uk) welcomes you!

We shoot rimfire during the week, but several of us shoot air rifles on Wednesday and Thursday. Saturday afternoon is Air only and we shoot a mixture of targets, tins, home made bits and knockdowns.

Very relaxed club and a good bunch of people.

P.s. Fill in your profile.

Depending on how far you are from Banstead, you could try Gallyhill Shooting Club. Open most evenings and Saturday/Sunday mornings, visit the following for more info...

Ham and Petersham is between Richmond and Kingston www.hprpc.co.uk

And tomorrow (sunday 2nd) is a guest day - arrive at 10am be shown around and get to shoot anything from .177 match air weapons to .38 centrefire carbine rifles - £2 entry plus ammo /targets- finish is by 2pm - the idea is to let prospective new members have a looksee. You can use you .22 HW45 on any of the 8 ranges except the 10m air range (.177 only - but you can always fit a .177 barrel - I did and was using mine down there on paper targets last night.
Cheers

PS don't however come expecting to shoot tin cans - it is official targets only - which include field air knockdowns, chalk discs, paper and even falling plate (but you need to borrow a club semi auto air pistol for that :-) )

I also have been going to SEAC for the last few months. http://www.freewebs.com/stumpy1966/index.htm

Great club, everyone is really friendly... it's all their fault I'm addicted and all these new FT related toys are emptying my bank account ;)

I am hoping to check Gally Hill out as well as it is very close to me (Croydon/Bromley area)

There's a Stock Exchange Rifle Club in the City of London, they have air pistol, I believe.

But don't ask me for directions: I live in the U.S.! :D

While I sure don't envy the U.K.'s gun laws, I wish we in the U.S. had even half as much interest in airguns as you do in the U.K.

I reckon part of that IS attributable to your stricter gun laws: but I also suppose that the fact that we have more space, and cheaper real estate, is a big factor here: we can afford the greater space necessary to shoot more powerful guns.
