    Quarnford Airgunner's events will recommence on Sunday 26th April 2015 10 am onwards then on the second and fourth Sundays of each month, list of dates to follow.

    Please assist the organisers by not arriving at the venue early as the event will not start until 10am.


    Upon arrival please enrol at the cabin. Classes for PCP, Spring recoil & HFT.

    The format will be as before but without the catering facility so please bring your own food and drinks.
    Please ensure you have shooting insurance when competing at Quarnford Airgunner's. QA is a small family run shoot in a stunning unique location. Unlike many other venues where on each visit you find familiar/similar/same courses the undulating Quarnford terrain has different courses with totally different challenges, the organisers really put in a great deal of effort to provide this so please support Quarnford Airgunners. There are good parking and toilet facilities.

    Look for the Quarnford Airgunner's sign on the A53 on the day of the shoot.


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

    Quarnford Air Gunner's 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.

    Event's are held on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of each month from March to November.

    Onsite facilities include hardstanding car parking & WC.

    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. The knockdown targets with string reset have varying hole diameters and range from 7yds. to 55yds.
    Some targets may occasionally be marked as standing only, some kneeling apart from these you can shoot seated, prone as you wish.
    In addition on most dates there is a zero range, practice targets & seperate pistol course.

    Quarnford Airgunners is all about enjoying your shooting in a competitive environment. See you there.

    Please search 'Forthcoming Events' section here on AirgunBBS for the latest QA information.
