Sociable shooting club wanted around Henley on Thames....

[Jezza1]

Hi folks,

I'm not sure I'm in the right part of the forum but thought I would give this a go!

I want to get back into shooting and join a club close to where I live (Henley); generally some plinking and hopefully getting more into the different disciplines with a bit of practice and experience. I have a FAC .22 air rifle (about 20 ft lbs), a .22 LR and hopefully the club may do the odd outing to Bisley to use my 22-250.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Cheers in advance, Jez

My club in Marlow should be suitable. While it is my 'primary' club, the vast majority of my shooting is done at Bisley but the Marlow club does run Bisley shoots too. PM me if you want more info.

There are 6 different clubs sharing an indoor range on different days in Crowthorne. Is that too far for you to travel?

I shoot at Marlow.
Nice clean modern up to date facilities whether you want Precision, LWSR, Black Powder or Full Bore section at Bisley.

Turnup could you possibly PM me details as I live in Bracknell, I am a member of BFTO but sometimes a trip closer to home would be a nice change

Many thanks

wow, they never had any clubs when I grew up there. Closest was Reading... Reading had a big open shoot in the late 80s I went to with my Dad and a couple of mates... loads of people with springers. The 77 had just come come out, as my mate had one, but most people had airsporters, FWBs, 35s, originals, meteors. Everything was .22 !

I started a shooting club in 1981 using the Pinewood range and the range had been open for a number of years before that so it certainly predates the 80s - or were you thinking of air only clubs?
