are there any bp enthusiasts out there in Leicester / derby / notts area that would be willing to let me accompany them to a range for a play ? I like the nostalgic value and general idea of owning a bp rifle but as yet have never had the chance to fire one or seen one being shot. I have a spare slot on my FAC that looking to put in for a variation on but cant make up my mind if to go for a bp rifle for normal range use or a .300 rum / 7mm rum centerfire for long distance shooting.

Have a go at bp and you will be addicted! ive shot a fair few of my mates bp guns and they are fantastic fun especially the .50 remington rolling block and .577 royal enfield muzzle loading rifle they are suprisingly accurate too.

Why not come and visit us at: www.orpc.org.uk
We have guest days and there is usually someone about with bp firearms.
If you bring your FAC with you, you can shoot as a guest and it won't cost you a penny!
Mail me if you are interested.
That goes for anyone else too.
