Didn’t bother with the moderator this time after all that. Took the 92 and m17(among others none co2) Me and the lad shooting paper…..and splatters!  Happy with the 92, at times I managed to get 4 or 5 in a 5-10p size group. That’s at 8yrds standing not rested.   8yrd splatters  Down range  |

Thank you, had some fun. Shame my R10 decided to pack up🤦🏻♂️. Think it wanted to be a pistol to with 5.4 ft/lb on the chrono😅 |

Next time I go, might be next Friday again if time allows. Will get some pics of the pistol range. Several dividers, wind the targets in and out up to 10m. Only down side , the targets fit in with a bull dog clip. So they can swing/move a little when hitting.

Nice range ineed. Is it Pete's Farm? It’s Leigh range in a mill. Under Bolton gun club www.boltongunclub.co.uk/Air.htmlLots of nice members , all ages from maybe 7 or 8 to….well Bill was 82, not seen him for a bit as I’ve gone Friday night. Rifle range for 20, pistol range with I think 6 capacity. Archery range to (need to try that maybe at some point). There is a live range top end of air, not sure what days or if been used for a while. Air range goes to about 55yrds to back wall. 8yrds/18/25/30/35/40/45/50 iirc . Wires going across each. Then spinners, some made out of empty co2 cans! Plates etc and lots of birds with hit areas that reset. The Atherton range(not been yet) has targets you can reset via app on phone! Modern tech ! But as with any club, it’s the members who make it what it is. Plus all kinds there, co2, springers, then some with £3k rifles and £3k+ scopes….fully bench rested and electronic triggers. Don’t really see the point in that, but each to theri own. I like to shoulder and feel I’m part of it. But if you want 250/250 on a comp card, it needs to be fully rested. A few have front stands around £1k….crazy money. Ed guns are nice (probably not a safe investment now) and see a few of those, springers you name it. Many air arms and weihrauch. A beauty I should have got a pic of last night, one from the 1960’s ! Will do again though next time I bump into him. Booking wise 3hr slots, £8 none, £4 members, 16 and under £4. Also guns to hire as well and a chrono to use. That’s how I knew my R10 was playing games! Last time around (pre kids) I went to the Worsley club. That was outdoor so weather dependent for me. That’s more fun being outside and a course to work around. That’s part or a big part why I love pistols, breaks up rifle shooting . Different disciplines like springers and pcp. Variety keeps interest. Cheers |

Love that range ! Not to many dedicated "air" ranges here in the states, mostly real steel. You can shoot air guns there, but is quite costly. Think I'll commence dating fraulines who only have large, private gardens....🙎😘😜
