Anonymouslemming Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Hi all, Does anyone know how I'd go about shooting at a location other than my club ? The only discipline shot at my club is 25m prone with slings and other stabilising equipment. I'd like to try my hand at benched rifle, 100m target shooting and possibly 300m targets. How do I go about finding somewhere to do that? There don't seem to be any clubs in my area that offer that. I can book ranges at Bisley through BASC, but I'm not sure how that works when applying for slots for my FAC as my club don't shoot those disciplines. Thanks in advance, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anonymouslemming Posted May 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Nearest ranges i know to you are Bassingbourne (Barton Road) - or Bisley. Bisley is accessible to me a few days a month - I drive further to fly. What I don't get is what I need to do to be able to do this. I know that I can book ranges there through the BASC, but I don't understand what I else I need to do. Do I need to join a club that shoots there regularly? Can I just book a range and show up ? What do I need to justify this on a variation ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardo Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 As a member of a gun club already and a BASC member, i don't see why you can't put in for a variation - you can shoot there whenever you want after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
