MC Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 I have been to the last 2 of these and they are great fun. especially the muzzle loaders and the the black powder pistols. The Mcqueen on century is good if you are quick at taking shots. I will be there all day shooting everything I can lay my hands on.

flash Posted April 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 does ayone know wether u need to accompanied by an adult to do the shooting at the open day, as my dad has to go out to germany that weekend(typical). im 16 if that makes a difference and have BASC insurance. cheers flash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Flash, No you do not need to be accompanied by an adult although some of the shooting has an age limit. Check out the NRA website at www.nra.org.uk and they explain what you can and can't do. Most of the limits are 14 years so you will be OK Cheers Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkield Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 There is Archery, How can you have enough of trying out guns? Cheers Martin :unsure: :blink: Confirms what I always thought, I am just not keen enough! I went to a range day on Saturday and shot off over 100 rounds, that was enough for me, interesting watching 'enthusiasts' firing 10 shot single slug pump action 12 bores and .50 calibres firing tracer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenbears10 Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 How much is the open day lads? Or is it pay as you shoot type thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Tenbears, It costs £6 to register and then you buy vouchers and it depends what you shoot. Most of the fullbore stuff is £4 per 5 shots. It is a good day out and a lot of fun can be had for £20 Cheers Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flash Posted April 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 do u mean that u want to use the ranges to shoot, if so u need to be NRA affiliated or shoot with someone who is a member . cheers flash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 (edited) They remove the need for an FAC to try out any rifles. EDIT looks like it is from the details on the NRA site B) "NRA Open Day (National Shooting Centre (NSC), Bisley) The NSC is holding another series of Open Days following the success of the events held in 2004 and 2005. Visitors will be able to try one-to-one coaching on Shotgun, Gallery Rifle, Target Rifle, Sniper and Historical Arms as well as archery and laser clays, to name but a few. Age restrictions will apply to children under 14 years of age for some shooting activities and all children must be accompanied by an adult. All visitors wishing to shoot will have to register and produce a form of ID, once individuals have registered you will be able to buy vouchers that you may redeem at any of the activities. The NRA Museum will also be open and entry is free. " Edited April 25, 2006 by stuartp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flash Posted April 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 at the day they have a variety of different weapons to use from , pump actions to sniper rifles and an FAC is not needed as you use it under the supervision of a qualified coach. it is good fun and you can use a variety of different weapons, from what i can remember there are also stalls selling shooting related stuff including riles, airguns, shotguns etc. im going on saturday if all works out, so i m ay be able to show you where to go on it as it can be quite complicated to find all the ranges. cheers flash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
