    Quarnford

    Have a look on your map where we are, it is not far for you.

    March 9th & 23rd Then the second and fourth Sunday of each month up to and including November.

    Organisers request, upon arrival please enrol at the refreshment cabin. Classes for PCP, Spring recoil & HFT.

    Beginners & Junior shooters are always welcome @ Quarnford Airgunner's.

    Quarnford AirGunner's are are located off the A53 Buxton to Leek road at Axe Edge Moor,
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axe_Edge_Moor on the Staffordshire Derbyshire border.
    QA is well signed on shoot day's, approximately 4 miles out of Buxton, 8 miles from Leek. Nearby Flash is the highest vilage in England & home to the 2nd highest pub in the land.

    The undulating sloping terrain is home to seven different course layouts & with variations available to each one a differing course is set for every shoot.
    The course can be shot FT or HFT you choose. The scoring system is two shots at each target, 2 for a knockdown, 1 for a target hit, 0 if you miss, is usually 20 targets max points 80, occasionally 25 targets max points 100.

    There is the Stockport and District Air Gun Club, they meet on Wednesday nights between 7 and 9pm in the Cheadle drill hall. They have 3 x 25 yard positions and shoot on a ten minute rota, loads of knowledge and experience there.

    They also meet every second Sunday at a farm on the outskirts of Stockport, the next one should be the 13 th April.

    Pm me if you want more details and numbers.

    Give me a shout if you require details of Rivington Riflemen.

    Basically, we meet three times per week (Weds & Thurs evening indoors and Sundays - indoors and outdoors). We have a 40 yard rifle/10m pistol/match rifle indoor range plus a large woodland outdoor range both near Bolton.
