SCOTTISH AIRGUN CLUBS - lets start a LIST

[hebhaggis]

Please keep adding to this List .

There appears to be two types of Club - this will be the same as everywhere else in UK .

FIREARMS Clubs - traditional Rifle and Pistol clubs - these usually have airgunners , and an airgun section or area to shoot . So 'Airgun Friendly'.
But by their very nature and legal approval to exist have little to do with the average Airgun user running low power non Fac weapons .

AIRGUN CLUBS - not Fullbore/Rimfire related . These may have Fac members but in main are sub 12ft/lb airgun users .

At this stage what with legislation upon us in the following months [ Basc claim it may happen as soon as next April .... ] it doesn't matter what Club you try and join .....if they let you ......however it appears that a traditional Firearm Club can have 'difficulties' - they are bound by Home Office approval or Police operating procedures .
At first you would say 'whats the problem ' ....but after the Pistol 'Ban' / Dunblane and even before , there were strict membership rules , attendance issues , and the old days of 'turn up and try things out ' have since long died ..... Not out of place perhaps at an Airgun Club esp if you are invited but never at a Firearms Club .

Its just something I have picked up on ...it would seem logical to want to shoot at a 'real ' Gun Club but there may be difficulties for some .
