Bradders Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Hi, try looking at www.nsra.co.uk, there is a club finder tab under "home" I would post the link but the NSRA site is blocked by the companies security software.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC45 Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 We currently have no wheelchair users on the indoor range. However, we also have an outdoor range which is used by several groups. The outdoor range is used by an Archery club, who do have wheelchair users. If you would be interested in coming over, PM me and I will be able to help. If your interested in Clays, we might be able to accommodate that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLACK-GUN Posted June 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Sounds like any form of benchrest shooting would be ideal for you, there are wheelchair shooters in most disciplines. Where abouts are you? Iphone does not display lication. norfolk mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
