    anyone use brooklands range in Leigh?

    I am working in Liverpool Monday to Friday for the next few months and am only staying a few miles away from leigh thought I might pop a couple of guns in the car and have a bit of a plink after work, do they do air fills or have I got to bring a bottle?

    thanks

    guy

    Theres a warm welcome at Brooklands Guy...
    Free air ….
    A choice of fast food outlets just up the road to bring in and eat in the comfy area ....
    or the usual confectionery available at the range.
    Tea and coffee available for a minimal cost

    General banter and $8ss taking if you want to join in ? …
    or you can sit away from that and really concentrate if you want that instead.

    Bring your own printed targets …. or they are also available to buy...
    Usually someone will pass you a few anyway if you dont have any …
    I usually have enough to share out....

    The small round headed bright coloured map pins are popular at the moment or those
    small imitation clothes pegs about 8mm long ..the ones they use on craft / card making
    they are handy for putting straight onto the target wires at the varying ranges,

    We (me and a few buddies …. theres up to 8 of us at anyone time) ...tend to get in
    on a Tuesday or Thursday … or both ! ….
    All with different guns if you want to try any …
    It will usually be Kevin or Paul on the desk on Tuesdays and Thursdays depending what time you get in.

    Hope you make it fella ….
    Be good to meet another forum member from the other end of the country.
    It will certainly help wind away the evening hours away from home.

    If you need directions give me a nudge

    If you are taking the RAW’s, don’t forget your ear defenders

    I know, I put the glasses in and forgot the defenders..... need to get them looked at by a proficient gun smith as they sound like a rim fire going off
