    Gun Clubs In Lancashire

    I have been shooting for some time now, and as yet, have never been to a gun club/range. Could i have some suggestions for some good gun clubs in Lancashire, preferably near Blackpool?

    Thanks in advance.

    I just tried to PM you back Ian, but your inbox is full.

    At the moment i am just shooting on some farm land of a family friend, and as you say, being a member of a club seems a good crack. I take it your a member at Rivington then? Whats it like?

    Regards

    Seriously though Jordan, why not come to our open charity shoot on the 11th of July, which is being held at our outdoor range. Meet the members and have a chat.
    Details from I.J. who posts on this forum, or have a look in the events section.

    I thought the membership was full at Rivington? maybe they just didn't want me joining

    Membership WAS full but we had that many people waiting to join (and for some reason some members joined and never returned thereby taking up places) we decided to open up membership again.
    EVERYONE on the Waiting List was sent details either on 22nd April or 10th May.
    KARLOS was you on our waiting list?

    Helo mate

    At the time we were looking for a potential club to use instead of the failing Failsworth, but your membership was full when we asked.
    We were invited to pop down and meet the guys but never got round to it, we then found the rimfire club at Guide Bridge and all joined there.
    Please don't worry about it Ian I know how fluid a membership can be and my post was totally in jest

    Ahh - so youve seen how some of our members can drink

    (Never while shooting though)

    Good luck with your chosen shooting sport.

    And how many gun clubs can boast (boast?
