Yes, it is hugely dangerous and an almost completely uncivilized wilderness. You would be well advised not to ever dare venturing over here. You could very well be killed. You have been warned.

They rolled over and gave theirs to the govt........

The indoor range is on council land between the rugby fields and the swimming pool. Like you say, they teach safety first, then accuracy. But you have to give the Poms credit for the .303. I still use one when hunting...... (When I'm not taking a Ruger, Mossberg, Stevens or Winchester :) )

Buying in bulk is always cheaper and as Vito points out, it doesn't take long to chew through ammo during shooting competitions. He said 'an innocent increase in the number'. How you got your interpretation is beyond me......you think like a woman?

They rolled over and gave > theirs to the govt........ Just tell me what sort of choice did we get then eh? Hide them under the bed and hope noone would notice or something? The police know just what you own and where you keep it (these are conditions of the firearms certificate in the UK). How are you meant to keep oyur guns when the govt change the law in a totally arbitrary fashion as a knee jerk reaction to some looney running amok with an AK? I was a competitive practical pistol/long range pistol shooter & homeloader for >14yrs and enjoyed every minute of it. Now I have to travel to a friend's range in switzerland to enjoy my sport. Just enjoy yours while you can. JB |
