super sharp shooter Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 I see the range is opening in the 15th. Does this mean we are good to go on the 26th? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPARKIE Posted June 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 that's his other range still waiting on confirmation for other and if we can meet in a group. scotlands rules.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPARKIE Posted June 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 right just spoken to mark. they are working frantically on the range and targets. so far all backstops have been sorted from 100 to 1000yrds they suspect they are not going to have the cabins in in time but are hoping to have everything in place and complete for early july. That doesn't mean we cant shoot it just means we may have to rough it lol. I've got to call marc next thurs to get an update and see if it can go ahead. scotlands behind with the distancing shizzle and sturgeon is dragging her feet. anybody else wanting to join us pm me.

flynny Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 (edited) Gents, i dont want to put a downer on the weekend but,,,,,,,,, i would be VERY carefull travelling to Scotland , it's basically a no go at the moment with this corona ****, local lads are only going shooting up there if there perms are within a 5 mile radius , I stalk a bit further north than eskdalemuir , and it's a big no till wee crankie lifts the restrictions , local cops / FLOs will prosecute if an out of towner who is a non resident decides to go on a Mooch north of the border, do so at your own risk and of that of your FAC, it's big news at the moment , till hill , Fountain and SNH etc have all stopped shooting activities on there land . Can you guarantee the social distancing etc have a long hard think about it , I wouldn't take anybodies word/ interpretation of the Scottish guidelines apart from the Scottish government hopefully restrictions will be lifted in phase 2 and 3 etc and hopefully in time for the weekend flynny Edited June 8, 2020 by flynny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

super sharp shooter Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 Ummmm not looking good then. Looks like a refund is the option with a possible rebooking once they lift the restrictions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 Sparkie, Being quite frank and without beating round the bush i think we should cancel this year. I doubt Mark will have any issues with that under the circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsxrjohnny67 Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 I agree, I’d sooner rearrange for later this year or even next year, given the current state of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPARKIE Posted June 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 So then.. I spoke to marc today as I said I would and they have had more news yesterday. They cannot do anything until phase 3 starts which has been announced as 15th july. So the weekend has been cancelled. He has said if I want to book a later date that's fine so down to you guys. If you want to book later in year or get refund let me know. Via here or PM. I'll send a message to all later tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougy Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 Sparkie, can you find out what is behind the target points, if you cant see splash of any find it can be quite pointless, all you end up doing is firing "aimlessly" in the general direction. You know last time we ended up shooting into the brook course and at the large rock due to having no idea of where we were going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPARKIE Posted July 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 they have sand backstops now built up john... the range looks far better than the last place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds brill, hope i wasnt sounding like a winge bag. It was funny last time, i was having good hits on 18" target at 900 being able to correct with seeing the splash on the slate bank but lost it at 1k with grass behind. Just need to check i can get cover at work when i get in Monday 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
