    Air gun shooting around Basingstoke

    My son has been shooting with me for many years (air and S1). He has recently purchased a home in the Basingstoke area with his fiancée and is looking for somewhere he can use his airguns. His back garden is really too small. He is not particularly interested in competition at the moment although he has shown promise at precision in the past, just plinking fun with one of his neighbours (who I believe is a novice).

    Any suggestions/contact details as to where he could go?

    Lains shooting school by Thruxton isnt too far away. They have a couple of good airgun ranges.

    There is a thriving air gun club in Basingstoke: http://www.barpc.org.uk/

    Several Airgunbbs members belong to it.

    For more in the area check out http://csfta.co.uk

    Although ultimately it’s a competition biased organisation the clubs which are members have facilities which extend beyond that.

    Basingstoke as mentioned is probably your best bet though.
