    I have a 9 yard indoor range at home (commonly called a hallway and kitchen) which is great for practicing unsupported shots and refining technique but the 55 yards indoor range at Bolton Shooting Club is everything you need for setting up any sub 12 fpe air rifle and extreme pellet testing. Just going along for general target practice can be very challenging and tiring at the longer ranges because you can't blame the wind here, the paper target doesn't lie and all your shooting air is free, this long indoor shooting range really punishes poor equipment and technique.

    If it is to cater for the "average" sub twelve airgunner, 55 yards is probably best so that the FT shooters can practice ranging up to their full distance. Leigh indoor range is ideal within my area as you are much less likely to have to put up with a certain Mr Jones.

    That, after the 'kettle' I got you for Christmas. Wounded I am, wounded.

    The "kettle" was actually an Apel mount cleverly disguised in a kettle box. When given the present from son James on Christmas day, it was one of those "what the ---- did you buy me a new kettle for" as I attempted to continue smiling. A typical Jones ruse that worked perfectly on me as normal. The swine.
