fortune82 Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Having been shooting for ten years now I am thinking about putting in for a deer rifle. I have been stalking on an estate in SW Scotland numerous times and am planning on doing DSC Level 1. Most of my stalking would be bought days along with the occasional Roe on our game syndicate. However I would obviously need somewhere for practice / zeroing. Are there any rifle ranges in the East Yorkshire area which are suitable for this? I know about the various rifle clubs and military ranges in the area but dont think you can just turn up as and when you want for 10 - 20 practice shots etc. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you google it they have a website. I think they do archery too?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vipa Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 http://www.beverleytargetclub.co.uk/ Don't think that's going to work for him YP. It's a smallbore club with a 25mtr indoor range. I'm sure they probably have members who shoot full bore but they'll use army ranges like ours does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sambu13 Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Cottondale, staxton have a range but dont know how long it is? Just looked on google earth looks like 50m outdoor range. dont know if thats helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casts_by_fly Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 I looked when I first moved here and couldn't find a fullbore range in East Yorks. The closest was the MoD range near York that has since been shut down. There are a few rimfire ranges and indoor ranges, but nothing for a rifle. You'll need to either travel a ways or find a farm that will let you shoot (and is cleared, unless you have an open ticket).

fortune82 Posted March 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Thanks for the help! Beverley is only approved for .22 rimfire. I have heard that the British Deer Society run regular range sessions in this area using Strensall Ranges but cannot find any info. Ill have a look at cottondale as well!

mike.ginty Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Hi Humberside shooting ground at brandesburton near beverley i think has a range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevew Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Cottondale has a 50m range @ £5 a day for non-members(or it was) and they like you to book 24hrs in advance. There is no rifle range at Humberside Shooting Ground apart from an indoor 10m air rifle range. I think there is a range near Pontefract which may suit, although I can't remember the name.
