nderfel Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knew of any rifle ranges in Dorset with 100 yard lanes? I need to zero a couple of new purchases and for various reasons can't do it on my permissions. I know of the tunnel but they only allow non members on a Saturday and that's no good to me. Cheers in advance Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BattleFieldRelics Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Theres a 100 yds range at queens park golf course. Never been there though so thats all I know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nderfel Posted May 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 BFR, I live within sight of queens park gold course - if that's the case I am going to be very surprised and even more made up I shall look into it however I believe the range was closed years ago and is now just overgrown Thanks for the pointer though just checked, is now the children's play area we take my rugrats to I'd prefer it to be a range!

malantone Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 I don`t understand how you can use the rifles on your perms but you can`t zero ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nderfel Posted May 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 mainly because I only have access to my perm at night, its a commercial set up open to the public. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2511bb Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 Hi bud me and my shooting bud wurzel are also looking for a local range. We are in Poole and although zero our guns up to 308 on our perm we would still like a local range. How did you get on with the tunnel £25 per lane per hour is very expensive. Have you had any luck anywhere. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMcC Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 Has Talarms not got a range ? not far from Christchurch if I remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nderfel Posted May 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 yeah it has, well they use Christchurch gun club I believe, 25 yard range though, not 50 or 100 I am off to the Tunnel on Saturday to use that instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomblincoe Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Christchurch gun club has a 50m range. East Holme has longer ranges but is currently closed for refurbishment Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markws80 Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 I forgot At Ivythorn Sporting They have a Rifle Range available for private hire. 50 and 100 metres, rimfire and full-bore. Use the range for zeroing, practice and load development, as you require, and shoot in comfort from under-cover firing points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
