Pistol & Rifle Shooting in the Highlands with Strathpeffer Rifle & Pistol Club. <StrathRPC at yahoo.com> or google it.

Club insurance would probably be sub 12 only, it's an FAC rifle the power it's set at does not change that
I have an open ticket

I’d asked the question in the past at our club. We have an indoor 50yrd range, 25yrd range which is also used by the live ammo boys, black powder etc ( on different nights to the airguns obviously ) and an outside 45yrd covered range.
My FAC airgun is a 23ftlb BSA Hornet and the answer was an emphatic NO. I can use it on live ammo nights if I pay an extra £30 a year on top of the £60 airgun subscription but even then I can only use it on the indoor 25yrd range on paper targets. As it’s very accurate out to 50+ yards, 25yrds on paper is frankly boring so I said forget it.
Shame really as the outside range would be perfectly safe ( open ticket ) but apparently as it isn’t home office approved it’s still a no go. With an open ticket it’s down to the shooter to be satisfied the land is safe ( backstop is a massive 15’ high earth mound ) and I have BASC insurance, but it’s still a no go
At the end of the day club rules are club rules and that’s that.

NSRA insurance is based on the number of members. There is no reduction in cost if the club only shoots sub 12fpe.
