Clubs
I'm afraid this is not an uncommon problem, but I'm sure there will be other clubs within travelling, and that you will find one that is more target focused.
For open meetings there are various sources, the NSRA, the Stirton forum, and of course here on BBS, and just do searches on county associations in your travel area. I also think going to the British Airgun Championship is a good source of meeting people and finding clubs.
Postals, I think the best and most helpful and friendly leagues in the UK are the Dorset Association, look up their contacts on google, they run leagues with many divisions, so you can always shoot against people of a similar standard, they do self scoring, and send in results by email. If you cant find them email me.
But of course there is also the Welsh association, they run "probably" the best open air meeting in the UK, and I'm sure would help you find clubs in Wales.
Both the British and the Welsh opens may seem a bit daunting, the standard at both will be very high, even the lower classes are not true hunting grounds for beginners, so perhaps visit first to see what its all about, and I'm sure you will make contacts amongst what for use of a better term are the right sort of people, like minded target shooter. the Welsh Open is very soon, 16th to 18th November, Sophia Gardens, Cardiff, to late to enter but a good source for you to attend. The British Championships is Feb.
Love your range by the way, you can shoot any thing at home, as long as you meet the requirements, correct targets, and correct witnessing, for NSRA you need an official designated witness with the NSRA.
I'm glad to hear you have my book on the way, any one who has my book is welcome to contact me by email direct and I will always help with guidance on specific queries or problems you may have.
Have Fun
