RockySpears Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 High to all from sunny Teesside. Just got my FAC and SGC, shoot at local club, but it is a bit cramped @25yrds, looking for more open space. Always got this site in searches for information so thought it might be a good start. Returning to shooting now the children are gone, more or less. More time and more cash. Going to try PSG (Mossberg 590?) Clays (some semi-auto?) and would like to go out field walking (Ruger 77/357? or 17hmr?) Plinking in back yard with SMK thumb-hole. There are some local shooters around because I have heard them out behind my house, just have to track them down (carefully).

RockySpears Posted April 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Hi Chilly, I've been up to Oak lodge in Hartlepool before but not to others yet. I have shot many years ago, so, given all the rule changes, consider myself a newbie. If ever you could use extra hands then let me know, or if you have opportunities for a beginner I'll gladly step up. Thanks, RS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockySpears Posted April 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Mayfair is where I have been for PSG with a standard pump action, it was great fun, and I hit everything, so all good. Opening hours at Oak lodge is a negative, but they are also building outdoor .22 etc ranges there, so I can get some outdoor distance shooting. I will probably go off to Carlisle some time, Have in-laws there so OH can see family while I do not have to. RS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockySpears Posted April 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 If I remember right it was 100 & 200m with covered shooting area. 200m would be plenty for me RS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockySpears Posted April 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Looks like Teesside is a veritable hotbed of PWs. I confidently expect "Griffo", an ex OpenReach colleague, to show up with his dozens of guns and a Discovery, RS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
