looking for an air rifle club in the Ampthill area

My son and grandson have recently started on the air rifle.

My 8 year grandson is hitting champagne corks at 25 yards, (and missing some) but even so I think that is good so I would like to see him get some tuition and more involvement.

Does anyone know of clubs in the Ampthill/Flitwick/ Maulden area (Bedfordshire)

 

thanks

Terry, you could try these 2, not really Ampthill way, but bedford based - i had a look around the first one, they have a good indoor 25m range, didnt visit the 2nd one though although i think they share some of the same facilities.

Alternatively, you could follow up on some of these links:

Not sure if this is the right link as the tinterweb police at work keep storming my desk when i try and open this one!!

Thanks, it is just a little bit too far.

I was looking for something that my son and grandson could get to easily, after work/school as their weekends are taken up on other things.

I have been told of a club at Clophill which is very close, I am trying not to get the telephone number before driving around to try and find it.

Many thanks to all who have made contact.

There's always MKARC on the Bedford side of Milton Keynes.

The course isn't the most inspirational I've ever shot but they are a solid regular affiliated club :yes:

 

Last time I went, it was led by a guy called Simon Denny, nice enough chap, reminded me strongly of a young version of Foggy from 'Last of the summer wine' :o
