Doncaster Airgun Range Meet Up; Sat 18 Jan 2025

[TonyL]

10 to go, peeps.

BOING!

[TonyL]

Getting milder from Monday; yippee!

And, looking at the BBC / Met Office forecasty thing, it should remain relatively mild for our day (hopefully forecast stays accurate), so looking good.

[TonyL]

Oh yes, indeedy, BOING, BOING, BOING!

Just nine sleeps to go.

[TonyL]

Anyone fancy jumping in? There are a few places remaining.

Full sun & a high of 8 or 9°c ! Good job it's inside or we'd all be getting sunburn & possibly heat stroke !





If you are thinking about coming to Donny now's the time to get yer name down ! You don't need to know anyone, just bring an air rifle & the rest just happens !

[TonyL]

Oh yes indeedy!!!!

Sadly guys, I'm not able to join you on this get-together. I'm currently on a 5 day trip up to Yorkshire for my Mum's 95th birthday and family event, so another Northern trip from sunny Somerset isn't viable so soon after.
I'm sure you'll all have great time, and if someone can put a bit of lead down range on my behalf, I'll be most grateful!
All the best for the gathering, Clogger

[TonyL]

Sorry to hear that you won't be able to join us, Alastair, but understandable.

We'll look forward to seeing you at Quigley Bottom in the Spring / Summer.

Anyone wanting to jump in? I think there are about 7 places still up for grabs if you fancy some good, clean airgun fun at a fantastic venue away from the elements.

[TonyL]

Just eight to go now, peeps

Yep, we're so very nearlier, nearly there.

As per above, there are a few places to be had still, so if you fancy joining us for some laid-back airgunnery fun at a most brilliant venue, away from the elements and amongst friendly, welcoming people, get your name down on this thread. It promises to be a fantastic day.

BOING!

Very understandable. See you when it warms up at Quigley bottom Alastair.

The .22 Supersport I bought a month ago arrived two days ago, and then sat on someone elses desk for a day until I noticed the unmistakable shaped box.

It's a bit tatty but functional, not bad for what I paid though. Feels nice, and is surprisingly light. Yet another rifle needing a scope

[TonyL]

Oops. Guessing you had it delivered to work then, Paul?

Yep, they're very light - easy to handle and very portable. Like a "matured" Meteor. They can effortlessly make the power, though, and the internals are much nicer than the Meteor. Have fun.

I am guessing the range is not heated so thermal undies may be needed.

[Andy from Sandy]

We are headed for a heatwave by Wednesday. It will be a barmy 9°C on Saturday.

[Dan Giliballs]

I am guessing the range is not heated so thermal undies may be needed.

that’s right, non, it’s fresh this time of year in there 🥶
