New HFT air gun club for Sussex/Kent.

[Alegazmoz]

With a shortage of true HFT practice venues in our area, a small group of us have created a permanent HFT practice range. Currently 36 Simmons and Knock-over targets, from 8 to 60 yards and a limited zero area. The venue is intended as a 'walk-on' facility for all. Though primarily set up for HFT, all styles will be welcome, as the main emphasis is on practice.
Family units and juniors will be encouraged and a variety of air guns (yep! ... back of the shed boingers and gas plinkers) will be provided for hire.
The land owner is more than happy for us to be there, as keeping the coppice clear encourages some rare butterflies and they propose to do some kind of study.
Once established, obviously we will have to provide a ground rent and therefore need a membership. There will be a range charge for those who prefer to turn up 'ad hoc' as non members.
A very welcome pub backs onto the land, treat the wife, the food is superb and well priced. Best of all, they have a camping field! Anglers have week-end socials, why not air gunners? ..... probably beacause booze and guns don't mix and any degree of intoxication will exclude anyone from shooting ..... bear it in mind!
I will post relevant pictures of the area and venue later.
We're offering two free shoots to anyone who turns up for taster visits. Please ensure you have your insurance details with you when you sign in, as there is no club insurance provision as yet.
Tea, coffee are on the plot and limited other catering as determined over the coming period . packed lunch, picnic in the woods?
Dedicated toilets are in hand, until they are, the fishery facilites are at our disposal, please be considerate passing through the fishery.
Now open from 10am to 6pm on Sundays .

[Steve L]

Hmm, we holiday in Rye, now will i get away with bringing my rifle & a fishing rod

[Alegazmoz]

All day Sunday Charles, 10am to 6pm and Tony Miller from Willow is there on Mondays, possibly along with Tony Archer.
It's a free time thing.
Alan Grayson and his boys from Buxted had a taste and then went for lunch in the pub.
Steve, I toyed with the rod and gun manouvre myself as I watched a fully plated Mirror of about 30lbs, cruising by in the margins about 6 o'clock, that would mean pitching the bivvy in the pub field all weekend! .... as it's a day water . oh that would be so harsh!
Practised all day for next week and then polished off a very nice lasagne meal, before heading for home ....... brilliant! ..... roll on the divorce!

arf!

I could have yours performing the same trick for a small fee ...

[Feral]

Shame it's such a trek for me although a weekend camping and shooting with a 4 session comp and a bbq and a pub evening thrown in would be a top idea
