    The two clubs I go to (both closed at the moment because of lockdown) are Atherton Indoor Range and Rochdale Airgun Club.
    Both are very well run and the members are friendly and helpful. When things get back to some sort of "normal" I would suggest you visit both.
    You won't be disappointed.

    Some less friendly characters here.

    Got a bollocking for carrying my gun in the only way that's safe, then told my rifle was inaccurate and I wouldn't hit much (so I then spent a while hitting everything to the end of the range)

    Im sorry to hear that but we, and I think every club that Ive visited in this area, will not tolerate unsafe gun handling no matter how good a shot you are. We have, after all, a 35 year 100% safety record to maintain but are not complacent were safety is concerned.

    The club motto should be: 'THE ONLY THING WE TAKE SERIOUS IS SAFETY'
