fuzzypigeon Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 (edited) Guys I was wondering whether any of you guys do this.... As I'd love to know more about it. If any of you do let me know what kind of set-up you use etc and drop me a pm if any of you would be kind enough to let me join you on one these days.

Numble Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 (edited) There is a 50cal uk club. http://www.fcsa.co.uk/ Who are we? This club website is dedicated to the legitimate sport of .50 calibre target rifle shooting in the UK. We are now one of the fastest growing target shooting clubs in the UK. Range events and competition details can be found here, so if you already shoot target rifle but want to see what you can do beyond the usual 1000 yards then 50cal shooting might be the challenging sport you've been looking for. We shoot the same competitions as our American counterparts (check out www.fcsa.org ) and use the same set of competition rules, some of our members also shoot in mainland Europe and Norway as well as here in the UK.

Out of interest - how much does it cost to put 10 rounds down range in .50 cal ? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad93 Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 If you load yourself probably about £10 - £15 I would imagine. Some people do something called Group F at bisley, that is anything out to 1000 yards. http://www.accurateshooter.com/guns-of-week/gunweek076/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter.123 Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 10 rounds will hit you around £10-15 home loads and probably £40-50 factory loaded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZ550Kevlar Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 10 rounds will hit you around £10-15 home loads and probably £40-50 factory loaded £15 sounds good to me, as stupid as it sounds i could justify that. shame about the rifle prices.

Vince Green Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 I shoot 1000yds at Bisley. Apart from fighting crosswinds in the winter and mirage in the summer it no different. I would have thought Diggle would be the place to enquire where you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
