    Are you guys saying theres a gun club under Nottingham Castle in Nottingham city centre?
    Yes, I go in my car to Huthwaite and Merlin in Loughborough.
    Yes, there is a gun club under Nottingham Castle, I was chatting to two guys at Woodend Farm who shoot at the Castle on a Thursday night, who were from Clifton, so more locals

    wow I had no idea they shoot under the castle. Well that would be the best place for me as it's the closest club so far. Does this club have a website at all?
    Google has NOTHING! Strange.

    @ delta1 so I'm to go to the fence and wait for someone to greet me? haha, awesome...
    And looking at google earth I see what you mean about the tram dropping you off at the wrong side! Looks like I'd have to cut through Hucknall town and take the country track across to the club.

    Also what is your experience of taking guns via public transport?

    Blinkin' 'eck!!
    Two chaps from me own home village...The fabulous Ruddo!!!
    I never had an airgun as a kid but i'm sure i could find somewhere to shoot around the village as it's surrounded by fields.
    Anyway best of luck

    I would not go unless they already know you are coming.

    Membership is limited by the facilities, and while they are a good bunch of people, that is not a good area to be standing around with a gun in your bag.

    Having never tried, I would have to say, "limited"
    As above.

    I can count to potato.
