Scully Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 oops sorry my bad missed that one, No worries; the interpretation of things written down are often lost in translation, as it were. As HuskyRich points out, you were right to make your annoyance known; I would have done too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saddler Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Computer says no 370 miles Pity Look on the NTSA website. Shoots al over the UK & cheap membership fees. Get joined & attend a shoot or two then get solid slug on your FAC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjimmer Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 This quote & the one from Scully boil my pee as just because the gun is tactical & not the norm the op is branded a nutter or psycho. We all shoot & enjoy it so why look down at some one because of a gun they like the look of. We get enough of this from the non shooting public & the press with out it coming from within the shooting community. This is why we lost pistols & self loading cf rifles because some one did not like them, like us having them & with the EU looking to restrict us law abiding sportsman even more we should not be making comments as above as this will be our down fall. Choice of words, not choice of gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 God only knows where the nearest place for action shooting is from me. Bet if theres somewhere it's at LEAST 100 miles away I'd be up for something like that though. That is probably not the case I'm not into western reenactment but lots of people are! I'm sure there is western society near by Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get joined & attend a shoot or two then get solid slug on your FAC Nearest location for an NTSA even is 140 miles away. Nearest range/club for western shooting I can find is about the same, if not more. It's just **** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imperfection Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Pointless though, unless you're firing slugs? And good luck finding a good reason for those eh. Target shooting is a perfectly good reason and yes slug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exudate Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 (edited) So did I. turns out theres nothing in east anglia. Isle Targets just outside of Ely, Cambridgeshire do practical shotgun. My buddy got his FAC shotgun granted for there, as well as slugs, for that very purpose. I went along once, and it looked like great fun. I was only allowed to fire the slugs on the practice range, at a paper target. Not much more recoil than a 30g 6 load, to be honest.

Will H Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Mossberg makes the Maverick Hunter over/under: http://www.mossberg.com/product/maverick-hunter-overunder-75445/ Would be UK legal and maybe could have the picatinny rails off the HS12 bolted on to it? No idea if anyone imports them into the UK though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuskyRich Posted April 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 Isle Targets website: http://www.itsc.org.uk/shotgun.htm Ah thanks for the heads up. Still, that's at around 70 miles away. Gonna cost a fortune to keep traveling that distance regularly, plus 3 hours travel time just to go do a bit of shooting... The ranges/clubs in Norfolk need to get their act together Absolutely nothing other than regular clay shooting and only have one half decent full bore range (100m). It's pitiful.

saddler Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 Put a few signs up locally on club notice boards. Bet you get enough interest to start a local club or a new competition/discipline within an existing club.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hardly pitiful it's because most clay clubs would probably want to avoid a bunch of people dressed in combats with black guns practising rapid fire drills. I absolute respect the choice shooters should have but the reality is most clubs would probably avoid this discipline like the plague. It's a shame I agree but then I miss my pistols as well.

That's the main part of the problem, people have this made up idea that any form of action shooting involves people in full camo and assault vests. Any IPSC ran competition specifically bans the wearing of camouflage/all black clothing unless you are serving military/police. Most people just shoot in the same type of clothes as you find at normal clay shoots (jeans/trousers and a polo top), but without the string vests. And I'm also a clay shooter and wear one of those string vests before anyone takes offence over nothing Edited April 5, 2016 by Breastman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy Galore! Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 I knew a chap that had a riot control sxs, had 17" barrels, used it for target practice with solid slug on his fac, kicked like a horse but bloody good fun . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Fun' being the operative word You weren't scared of it, wasn't anymore powerful of dangerous? So why have we become soooooo afraid of anything different or might offend the general public?( even people on this very Forum seem worried about expressing their likes) Personally I ******* hate bicycles and their users, but I'm not about to call for the Tour De France to be abolished.
