Doncaster Airgun Range Meet Up; Sat 18 Jan 2025

[TonyL]

And, if you have enough time in or near Sheffield, you could drop into NM Products at Hackenthorpe, where your AM03 came from......they have a massive selection of pellets (+ guns and other associated gear etc).

Yeah I've brought parts from Redbeck before, as to anything else that'd all be dependant on lift there etc, it's just nice to mooch a shop where possible as my area lacks them aside from Airsoft (although Airsoft may consider Air Guns in the future and local fishing shop has said they can get anything on request from SMK).
It also depends on how I am after doing the stairs and shooting, if things are screaming no point doing it if I won't enjoy it.

[DAR Leanne]

The on-site shop will be very handy for me at any rate as I struggle to buy decent airgun pellets up here in the "frozen north " !

We have a good range of .177 & .22 pellets, all of which we have open tins of for you to try before deciding which is best suited to your gun

Could there be any trading done this weekend? If so, Andy is thinking of selling his TX200SR (.177).
If this is allowed do we need to start a "Donny"sales thread?

You're welcome to sell between yourselves in the range, we also have a "for Sale' board for people who use us regularly to advertise their unwanted guns. We don't buy and sell 2nd hand stuff unfortunately

[DAR Leanne]

It might be better to check first, John. Not sure how wide a choice of pellets the range will stock, especially in .22. If range is limited, our sponsor's site is probably the best place to look - huge choice, very good prices, swift service and they always come well packaged.

We only stock domed .22 0 JSB, H&N, JTS, Crossman Premier, Accupell. Superfields in a good choice of weights.

[TonyL]

Welcome to the BBS, Leanne, and thank you for your much valued input.

It sounds like you have a most excellent choice of pellets on offer, then, and offer that incredible "try before you buy" service. Wonderful.

Thank you.

As you know, I've not been able to visit for a while, a situation that I hope to rectify in the very near future.

And big thanks again for working with us on this and being the great enablers of what promises to be a most excellent and memorable day.

Just booked a lane for tomorrow.

Theoretically can be as many as you like but it might be a case of shooting in alloted shifts if theres a lot of people to keep things fair.
One thing I'll need to account for is a chair to be placed in the lane I am to shoot from, I can't lean forward to Benchrest so freehold the rifle with my back supported.
One question I've got is the MP5, I think I can feed it Lead BBs, is it still not range legal or can it be excused providing I test for ricochet beforehand (which I'm happy to do as I want to check feeding with lead ammo anyway)?
I've plenty I can use otherwise so not the end of the world if its not but I've grown to quite enjoy it as it's easier on me to use as being Semi auto CO2 theres no cocking effort past the initial slap to chamber a shot and the Mags hold a lot.
Otherwise unless theres any special requests it'll be the Supersport and 880 I'll bring to keep weight down and possibly the MP9 for pistol work (it shoots both BB and Pellet from a double ended rotary thats a little more faff than the MP5).

Not acctually mentioned this to the Mrs yet as semi in the doghouse for buying a Lava lamp that looks like an artillery shell.
