beanieboy Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Are there any rifle ranges in N Ireland that are not for members only? - would be a great place to zero in a scope if there was one handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6.5shooter Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Not that I know of. Im in a few clubs and even we are having problems getting onto ranges at the mo because the MOD use them so much for training. If its not too big of a calibre sure a decent backstop in a field would do. Garry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beanieboy Posted May 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 is there not one on the left heading into newry.ask your local gundealer. There is one out the Belfast Road, but I think it is a short range for handguns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pastiebap Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 If you've permission to shoot on land and there is an adequate backstop then why not zero your scope there? I believe there is a condition on your FAC to allow you to do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you're a member of a gun club, or going as a guest, I don't think the 04 order legislates for "commercial" ranges. Certainly not aware of any.
