Hi folks, I want to take up shooting as a hobby again after a few years without any guns.

I used to have a FAC and do a lot of competitive full bore pistol (and revolver) shooting at Bishop Auckland gun club, but it all went awry after the clamp down following Dunblane, it did away with the disciplines I shot, police/practical pistol, so gave up the sport and went 4x4ing instead.
The 4x4ing was getting expensive so I've decided to go back to a hobby I've done since being a kiddie with air rifles.

What I need now is a air rifle/hft club in the local area to Darlington, County Durham.

Darlington gun club only has an indoor 25 metre range.

I've tried Thorn Dell and they aren't taking anymore members at the mo'.
Failing that I would like a go at clay busting, are there any members of Teesdale Gun Club on here, or Spenny clay club etc....
Don't want to buy any guns until I know I can get in somewhere.
