wymberley Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 Don't know that range so can't help there. however, if you've not shot a pipe range before just to be on the safe side I'd be inclined to take ear plugs and defenders and use them both at once if necessary. You might be using a moderated 22LR but what are the other guys using if it has a communal waiting area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
besty57 Posted November 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 Yeah ,it will be the first time on a pipe range,so I'll have to remember that, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novice cushie shooter Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 It was £15 for the hour about 6 months back. Used it a few times. Really like it but its noisy so defo take plugs but they have em at reception if you forget. Its quite a large room which you get the key from reception. No one else has access unless you have company. All watched on cctv too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunday morning was clays and when finished I went to the pipe range to zero the 22WMR. Coming back from our run out late afternoon, I pulled into a layby to just check the slow running. Jumped out with a screwdriver, opened the bonnet and couldn't hear the engine. Take care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

novice cushie shooter Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 No problems. Hope you enjoy it and the weather clears up a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge911 Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 been up 5/6 times its good for load development as there is no wind at all to affect the round but you have to wear ear protection and my god do you need it . its a little strange at first but if the computer target system is working ok its a damn good idea its roughly 120yds long but the only down side is time flies when your enjoying yourself oh and the café does decent food Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally under ground range - like a big sewer tunnel although it doesn’t need to be too wide - around 100 yards ish normally. Gives a good echo by the sounds of it!

besty57 Posted November 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 (edited) Well went up yesterday and had a good time ,pipe range is excellent with computer screen to track your shots, Also had a round on the clay ground.mainly sporting with some good stands.and Compaq sporting and skeet set up,and you can use them all on your own if you wish. Caters for the beginner to more advanced shot,the staff are also very friendly and nothing was to much bother,I will definitely give it another visit, And as hodge911 says decent food in the cafe, Al Edited December 1, 2017 by besty57 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
