Rossendale MTC - refurbished club range now "officially" opened.

[I. J.]

We have not seen "Oliver" again since that night, but it was funny. We thought he was a Rivington Club member and they thought he was a Rossendale Club member - he even signed-on to take a turn at the bell target (!), but it turned out that he was more interested in raiding the kitchen - and so I invited him to leave

Cheeky sod. To well dressed to be a Rivi member.

If your members are cold tell them to stand in the corner. Its 90 degrees there.

Sorry - he looked like a "down and out" so you can see how easy it was to make that mistake

Valuable advice regarding standing in the corner Ian - well up to your usual helpful standard - and well worth a try the next time you cross the "big hill" to visit us .

Firstly - 'down and out'. Yes, many of our members are down and I think a few have yet to come 'out'.

With regards to 'standing in the corner'. I bet that brought back many bad school day memories.

Perhaps you would like to be the first to try to record a 50 ex 50 at 10 meters with your air pistol live on our range?

You seem to be able to do it on your own range often enough, so this would be your chance to get your name recorded for posterity (but for a good reason this time!) by recording the first "possible" on the refurbished club range.

No excuses, perfect lighting, excellent target changers and good heating - it would all be down (!) to you........and no penalties like having to buy everyone a cup of tea to worry about either!

We have already recorded several "possibles" on the range for supported air rifle shooting, and I have hit one hole groups with the air rifle at 10 meters a few times now, so it only leaves the opportunity for the air pistol to record something memorable - and since we don't shoot air pistol much here any more, it leaves the door open for an intermitent visitor (and previous club member) such as yourself (or Oliver) to grab the honour - if you can

Put a sticker on the card, Bob and he'll be there for ever, never mind posterity....

We have some spare stickers from the days when us and the Ribby club used to shoot 10 meter MPL together - maybe that would be enough to encourage him to have a go?

Failing that you could come over and set the record and take the honour away from him

That should go down really well!

I will have you know Ive done 50 ex 50 at a variety of ranges including North Manchester, Rochdale, Rivi and of course, when I lower my standards - yours.

What nights do you shoot 10m? I cant be bothered with this 6 yard, poke em with a long pencil, stuff.
