    New Shooting Ground Nr Macclesfield

    We have in theory 25 acres of land to shoot on,The idea is to set up a Hunting Style set up,using HFT FT Style targets, Sub 12ftlbs rifles any scope on any setting,using any stance,Bipods Stalking sticks,Slings can be used,the only limiting factor is time, (TBD) to shoot 25 pegs with 2 shots at each peg, Some pegs will have 2/3 targets but you choose which to shoot, Harder pegs will be available with a higher ratings,There will be a mixture of "Knockover" style and full silhouette,some half hidden etc ranges from 10 to 100.!!!
    No real rules but with safety always in mind,
    Probable days would be Sat/Sun maybe an evening dependent on interest and one of us to be available.£5 on the day with no other fees.Shoot it twice but 1st round to count.
    We would be trying to reach out also, to all the people out there with those Air rifles in the loft gathering dust with nowhere to shoot them.

    new shoot

    Pleased to hear of this proposed new shoot in the Moorlands/Peak District area, hope the dates do not clash with Quarnford Airgunners though as that would be detrimental to both events being so close together. Good luck with everything, I hope to be able to shoot with you at a future event.

    change of venue

    This may take place at a new venue as the old one was not safe for stray pellets due to public footpath running through a neighbouring field.
    The new place would be in a wooded area but be nearer Poynton Adlington area.Cheshire.
    Trying to get it sorted for next year. rgs s2
