Doncaster Airgun Range Meet Up; Sat 18 Jan 2025

No airsoft either

Gotta be better than here, in .22 I can only get Domes, Hobby and Bis S’field and P Control.

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.

The 5 can likely be fed lead BBs as probably can the Beretta and M29 (Should take pellets too although is smooth bore) but that does rule out the RR, the AK and the 7 (although bios would burn into nothing well before the lead melts), had the Case arrive for the 5 today but won't be starting on it for a bit.
Rifles wise running is the Dual, Falcon, Supersport, 880, MP9 and B4, Record pistol and OG 25 I've still not fixed yet although I think I've got the parts for the 25 so that may change before then.
Also subject to change is what Guns I have as I've a fair few on my wanted list so more may be added in time.

I can get stuff on-line but its so good to actually see and go through pellet choice in a shop and I miss that !

Noticed on the Range website the facility is called "Victoria Mill" which sounds like a apt name for a building constructed in the 19th century !

[Segata]

It gets bloody confusing though when you look for a particular place with Victorian stuff as stuff like Victoria, Empire and even Nelson gets used frequently, Yarmouth area has 2 Nelson roads within 10 miles of each other and has been known to cause issue with deliveries.

Yep, and it's a lovely old, characterful building, John.

Re a shop & pellets.....Guessing you might be travelling down on the Friday (or sooner?) and staying with your folks in South Yorkshire? If that is the case, and you had the chance / time, there are other shops in and near Sheffield that you might be able to visit if the range doesn't have a large selection of .22 pellets?

[Blackrider]

Yes, I'll most likely do that Tony !

You could have a peek in Redbeck's John.

Yes that one I had in mind Gary !

[gtfreight]

Sorry, I've just double posted. Please ignore. ��

[Blackrider]

Redbeck could be a bit dangerous, they have some good gear in there and I might weaken !

[Segata]

Ooo Redbeck sounds like could be nice if someone doesn't mind taking me for a look?

[TonyL]

Yep, very good shop. Probably best accessed as you're driving south towards South Yorkhire.

It's a very good shop but not exactly on the doorstep of the range. At a guess, somewhere in the region of 17-20 miles and 30 minutes' or so drive from the range.

Go on, John; show us how strong you can be!
