ste12b Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 Went to a new range that opened last weekend at Victoria mill, Atherton (M46 9JQ). The set up is great and is a work in progress at the minute (eventually will have cafe and pool tables). They have loads of steel targets and the owner is more than willing to set up anything you want. We had tic tacs at 55 yds , it made for some interesting shooting. Opening times are: Mon – Fri 10.00 – 21.00 Sat – Sun 10.00 – 18.00 visitors - £12.50 all day £6.25 half a day Telephone 07907 689852 More info here if you want it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacksdad Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Any ideas why it closed, lack of demand maybe? There's quite a few mills round here with vacancies, close to the motorway network.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shewolf Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Hello, I just found this thread and thought I'd update the information, as the range is open with new owners and many changes on the horizon. I'm one of the two new owners of Atherton Indoor Range (AIR) in Greater Manchester and I'm trying to let people know about the changes in ownership and management, as well as the changes being made to the range.Atherton Indoor Range is a friendly all weather indoor range. The range is 42yds with a 10 metre pistol range. We have many different targets (spinners, bells sound reactive) as well as paper targets at varying distances, perfect for zeroing your gun. The range has something for everyone, whether you are a serious shooter, or just want a bit of plinking. We have just reduced range fees to £6, and there is no time limit set on the range, you can shoot all day if you have the energy! Free air fills for guns is provided. We are currently refurbishing the range to improve the facilities and the general shooting experience. We are building a new social area where you will be able to order hot food (hot drinks are already available), and watch a bit of TV or have a chat with your fellow shooters. We are also building what will be a fully stocked shop (pellets are already available at very competitive prices) so you will be able to try a gun before you buy it! Our opening times are -Mon - ClosedTues - ClosedWed - 2pm - 9pmThurs - 2pm - 9pmFri - 12pm - 9pmSat - 9am - 5pmsun - 9am - 5pmWe are open every bank holiday except Christmas and New Years Day from 10am - 5pm.Please note, the website has not yet been updated with the correct contact details and opening times. We hope to get this changed in the coming week, and we will make it clear on the website once it has been updated.
