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?
