swampyis1968 Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 hi does anyone know of any shooting ranges around the Bedford area or Milton Keynes as I popped to one today and it was no longer than my back garden wanting to zero in at 30 yards but their range was only about 15 yard im wanting to get to grips with parallax and mil dot sights. cheers ps they were clay pigeon shooting and for the life of me why someone would want to shoot something as noisy as that.

Longstrider Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 On Target Range at Northampton (Brackmills Ind Estate) has an indoor 25m range if that's any help to you ? Range fee is £12 an hour for non members IIRC. http://www.ontargetrange.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetter Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Mate Come and see us on a Sunday at MKARC near Hanslope http://www.mkarc.net/index.html We have a large field as the range and a covered shooting point. It can be a bit windy at times but you can push out to 70yards + if you wish for zeroing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evo Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 On Target Range at Northampton (Brackmills Ind Estate) has an indoor 25m range if that's any help to you ? Range fee is £12 an hour for non members IIRC. http://www.ontargetrange.co.uk/ £12 an hour , that seems a bit steep for a 25mtr range, our local range is £5 for 2 hours and its a 40mtr one, mind you I don't use it often as I just use the back garden which is 55mtrs in total,saves me a fortune, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zetter Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 come across and try a few targets off a support mate you will also probably be able to try a few different types of pellets as well to see what groups best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zetter Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Glad you liked it mate I will hopefully run into you up there at some point. I was shooting clays this morning so wasn't up there but as I said top bunch of people. I have done the three pellet thing embarrassingly on my daughters rifle.... I wouldn't sweat it though the record at the local RFD for pellets up the barrel is 14 . If its only 2 or three they should be able to gently rod them out.
