    SCOTTISH AIRGUN CLUBS - lets start a LIST

    So in rural Scotland -a country where most people live near to one of very few bigger cities , how many proper Clubs do you reckon exist anywhere ?
    Any shooting style - from .177 only Target to Ft/Hft ..or

    If joining a Club is one of the 'defences' for applying for the new farcical Scottish Airgun Licence , where are they ?

    Basc mentions that currently no Airgun Club has been ratified as having Chief Constable 'approval' as the bill was only past the other week .
    But there are too few and from what I can see - most all are down southlands around Glasgow and Edinburgh . I checked the SARPA website and this bears out .

    There is two types of 'Club' at this moment in time - this will be the same as everywhere else in UK .

    FIREARMS Clubs - traditional Rifle and Pistol clubs - in main Fullbore/Rimfire , these usually have airgunners present , and an airgun section or area to shoot . So 'Airgun Friendly'.

    AIRGUN CLUBS - low power Airguns only . These may have Fac members (?) but in main are for sub 12ft/lb airgun users .

    At this stage what with legislation upon us in the following months [ Basc claim it may happen as soon as next April .... ] it doesn't matter what Club you try and join .....if they let you ......however it appears that a traditional Firearm Club can prove 'difficult' - they are bound by Home Office approval / Police operating procedures so strict membership rules , vetting and attendance issues . It would seem logical to want to shoot at a 'real ' Gun Club but there may be difficulties for some .

    THE LIST


    Please keep adding to this List !
