Is now open for business!
We've cleared the rubbish away and put a few plinking targets out and a couple of T posts to clip paper targets to but if theres any suggestions for improvement please let us know.
Please note that if you are using a BB pistol then safety glasses will be required by ALL shooters on the range due to the likelyhood of ricochets.

Re: The pistol range
Just need mine to turn up now. Hopefully by the end of the week.
We need to put up a couple of re-set targets up on the brackets mounted on the tree and perhaps a few targets on the ground at closer ranges.

Re: The pistol range
Delivered today and have been playing with it most of the afternoon
After a little adjustment to the trigger and grip, I'm well happy with it and been shooting some reasonable groups at 10 yards. I did do five shots within about 15mm and then had to go a spoil by having another shot I need to give the barrel a pull through as the felt pellets fired through it were filthy
Looking forward to having a go on the range Sunday.

Shame about the 'comment' today, but looking at it, possibly some shower curtains along that side of the area?

I suggested a tarp with a rope threaded through it.

Re: The pistol range
Final thoughts today, and already cleared with Robert, is to do it properly.
Fence posts and panels.

Re: The pistol range
A reminder to those with the purse strings, we need some saftey glasses please !
And, are we going to allow BB on the range ??
With the hard back stop, they will bounce like hell.
I can always bring a BB along, gear up, shoot a load and see what happens before we make a decision.
What do others think

Re: The pistol range
Yeah, bring your BB along and we'll see what happens. If theres suddenly half a dozen people diving for the dirt then we might have to give them a miss.
