Hi Mark,

Yeah most of the old guard still frequent.

Was chatting to Stan last week for most of the shooting session

Regards BB still up in the air at the minute possibly scope for the future using lead on the 8 yard range only but nothing concrete yet.

According to Mike Pates There's a chap on Sundays who is supposedly trialling out the BB stuff and hasn't had much success due to richotet etc.

I haven't been on a Sunday for probably 10 years so unlikely our paths will cross so unfortunately we can't head bash it together as my sons play football on Sunday mornings.

For now it's bb use in my garage only which my sons not too fussed with but would be nice to use it at a club.

I think we will probably also get a nice replica pellet pistol next so at least he can use that down the club.

It's such a shame there has never been a pellet firing luger replica as that's my sons favourite pistol.

I could probably still get a mak and single shot load a pellet if needed it's a bit fiddly in practice but can be done so that's another avenue to consider

Hi Nick,

I had a reply this morning about the 10m range, the only restrictions are on rifle/pistol power, calibre no more than 0.177 and projectiles must be lead. Might give my Dan Wesson a go there with some Gamo bb's.

I am not a member of the tunnel range now, so our paths probably won't cross...

Cheers,

Mark.

You can still pop down as a guest bud

Mark just had some good news

Mike pates just emailed to say the 8m range (2 person chrono range) after some anti-ricochet material fitted is now clear for lead BB

Best not tell the missus as I'm 100% looking for a mak now

My son is going to be very happy taking and now able to use his luger down the club

Bugger just realised I need to go shopping at JSR now......co2 bulbs, lead bb's aghhh more expense doh!!
