    Hi there,

    I've done a bit of shooting with a .22 but would like to try shooting targets with a larger bore rifle. Is there anywhere in the country where you can shoot larger guns on a longer range?

    An Riocht in Kerry goes out to 300m I think.

    Correct me if I'm wrong.

    I think the op wants to 'rent' a caliber larger than 22LR - think you're out of luck on that front I'm afraid.
