10 meter Air Rifles at Rossendale Model Target Club - Thursday Nights!

[zooma]

A small group of us (very small) are just starting to shoot 10 meter air rifle at the Rossendale Model Target Club on a regular basis every Thursday night.

If you live in the area and would like to come along and join us please let me have a PM so I can answer any questions or give directions and details about the club.

We are far from proficient just yet and mainly shoot classic match rifles but a couple of PCP match rifles have also wormed their way in recently and we do want to improve our 10 meter match rifle skills over the coming months.

Unfortunately we have no experienced 10 meter rifle shooters that are club members just yet to learn from, so we are "self taught" and helping each other to improve as we go along.

If anyone else fits into this category and would like to join this small group of "self improvers" now would be a good time to join us as another 2 or 3 would make a better size group and help to pay the rent!

We shoot from 7pm to 10 pm in a cellar under the Longholme Methodist Church hall in Rawtenstall BB4 6QS.

We are easy to find opposite the giant ASDA store and behind Rossendale Models shop and the last Temperance Bar in the UK

Well done Bob,

Yet again you are working to develop our sport, its a bit too far for us to come to do some coaching, but perhaps in the future your group, and maybe others on here in the same situation may be interested in a day out in sunny Norwich at our picturesque range by the river in the city centre, and we would be very happy to plan and put on a day foundation course in 10 mt rifle at our well equiped range?

Good shooting
Robin

Thanks for your very kind offer Robin!

It would be really nice to get some proper coaching, even just for the basic ( but very important) things such as establishing the correct stance!

Visiting your well equipped and picturesque range in sunny Norwich is very temping and something to look forward to, but it is a long way away and will need some planning - perhaps when the weather improves a little.

You are of course welcome to visit our poorly equipped and small damp cellar range in a windswept and rainswept Lancashire Valley if you are ever travelling up this way for any reason in the future - yes it does sound irresistible I agree - and due to the anticipated rush of visitors wanting to immerse themselves in this unique experience we may have to establish a booking system to avoid over-crowding

I look forward to meeting up with you some time during 2016 so we can discuss the important things in life such as learning how to shoot an air rifle better at 10 metres and discussing the various merits of different local real ales

Meanwhile we would love to see some more new members come along and take up 10 meter rifle shooting with us here in Rossendale on Thursday nights - we are not wanting to become over-crowded or to grow into a much bigger club but we would like to gain another new like-minded member (or two!) who would enjoy the social chat as much as the 10 meter rifle shooting!

Bob
Having popped into your club to see you last summer to have a look at your setup and meet some of your members and shoot a wide variety of different pistols (did not shoot the bicycle gun though but very interesting), I must say I was most impressed. Anyone within driving distance and that shoots 10m should seriously shoot there for all of the reasons you have mentioned. It is a great shame I live over 200 miles away!
Not sure you could call it a crypt but it does sound rather better than a basement.

Its funny you should mention that as we have quite a few "sleeping" members and not enough that turn up and shoot "live" and pay a range fee every week

Hence the reason for the advert - to try and gain a couple of new "live" members to come and shoot 10 meter rifle with us on a Thursday night !
