steve_b_wales Posted April 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Alright Steve There's Barry Tunnel never been myself open Wed, Sat and Sunday 01446746375 Dai Hi mate. I phoned the above this evening. Membership is closed at present, and when one member leaves, there are plenty more to take his place. You can go as a visitor for £20, and can go three times in total. I may go there to try my rifles out on the 200 yard range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind travelling if it's worth the effort. One club, nearer to me, is for .22LR only, which is not what I want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_b_wales Posted April 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Barry Tunnel - £200 per year, no membership vacancies at present. You can shoot as a visitor for £20 , maximum 3 times a year. SevernSide Range - £200. I think the charge is £15.00 range fee for a visitor. 50 Cal association. £70 per year (there's an increase from this April, not sure how much) Meet at Senny Bridge and other ranges across the country. You don't have to own a 50 cal to join. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to own a 50 cal to join. There will be no increase in membership for the FCSA(UK) this year :-) - it will remain at £70 with £10 green fees for members.

steve_b_wales Posted April 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Start one up pal seems to be plenty of people interested lol! wonder how much it would cost There used to be one in Senghenydd, I was a member there for a few years. It closed, and was 'supposed' to be re opening 18 months ago, but I've heard nothing. The most difficult part of starting up a range is finding suitable ground, and somewhere where the public cannot wander onto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd90 Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Is it just a money sink tho ... its Deffo got a closed market. Shame really as if there were more places that were run well to teach newbies etc it'd be more popular I reckon. Most of my starting off was reading online and on this site n then met some lads local who mentored me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
