gibby Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Aslong as the club says its ok, then there's no problem, surely what you want to do comes under practice and zeroing? Gibby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oly Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Many smallbore clubs will require you to be a member though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham M Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 You will have to see what happens though, because a lot of Smallbore clubs are very suspicious of anyone who just turns up to shoot a rimfire. We had one chap who turned up at our “Prone Rifle†night with a semi-auto and asked if he could join. We pointed out that it wasn’t quite the right rifle for the type of shooting that we did, but we allowed him to zero his gun. Turned out that all he wanted to do was show his firearms officer that he had joined a club (which he hadn’t) and we never saw him again. Now as far as we were concerned he was an unknown shooter who turned up out of the blue and then ******** off to tell his FEO a pack of lies about joining. So if you do join a club at least turn up every week or so to shoot there. G.M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lock&load Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 it would be classed as zeroing but as has already been said the majority of clubs would want you to join and pay a fee but why do that when you can zero on land deemed suitable for the caliber in question,the only upside is staying dry on wet days when you need to check your zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
