airsoft shooting range !!!

lil dave

if an airsoft shooting range was set up....like targets etc..would you use it ? because theres nowhere else to use your gun other than on a sat. at hrta or dragheda etc. big open field (lots of space)

weeder

what sort of location are we talking? i was thinking of such myself earlier but i didnt think people would go being that we have hrta etc

maybe in town rent a shop plot put up a range charge a membership and bam, i know id go alot and pay 10+ a week

I'd be interested in this myself. Don't really have anywhere to shoot at home. Would be nice if there was somewhere local to town that I could just drop in after college during the week for a few shots.

ED E

Remember AI had a shooting system advertised where the targets are projected onto a metal "screen" and shots are registered by sensors in the screen. Only a small area is needed. Could work very well in conjunction with a shop.

Like that. Can also use targets amd moving targets ect.

great idea! wouldn't mind bursting a few cans myself!

no hallway? i shoot in my hall, its fairly long i just sit on the toilet with the

m14 and a bottle of bb's and let rip on a target at the far end of the hall.

also it means i dont have to leave my shooting if nature calls

Looks like a deadly system, Lethal.

Popanddrop

When i want to shoot in my house I just open my bedroom window, and line targets at the far end of the garden and place a net behind them so no bb`s are found all over the place.

The site seems down, let me check the URL....guy in Fife i think.

Yeah, mentioned here: http://www.hotfroguk.co.uk/Companies/Arcada-Uk_2368438 but the site is out of action.

i have a mini range in my attic! don't laugh, it works, and with no interruptions or nosey neighbours it works the finest. My son, and a good friend of mine use it when we get the chance using everything from g17, p226 to m4, great crack except when we haveto sweep for bb's:(

Need to find the perfect bb' trap and stop those little bighter's from fly all over the place!!!

lil dave

well it would be in balbrigan mite be a problem for some.......

Joey1666

I think you need a long open space cardboard targets at end and "windows" for people to shoot like a driving range. Charge 20 to join and 10 a week. Seems fair. rent would probabely be 10-20k a year though so that'd be hard to cover.

Joey1666

A garage would work great too

i hate when im playing my xbox shooting down terrorists and then it hits me i have a sensation of sharp pains in my waste and i must run only to come back to find i was mac 11'd to death. So no... i wont laugh at you but be honoured by your strategic advancement

Ooooohhhh for a garage!!! my mate and myself on constantly on the look for a suitable location/garage/room/shed/large box to do a bit, without somebody thinking that we should know better at our age then to be running round the place like lunny's but hey, it's a bit of fun,:)

ED E

Yeah, I use my hall but I need a better bb catcher.

iceage

Again, don't laugh, another mate of mine suggested a water dispenser! you know the ones from a water cooler. when it's empty cut a sq, hole in the side(bout the size of a target 9) tape some cushion/paper/in there at the back, be careful that plastic can cut ya! and blap away!! catches most of em depending on the range..worth a shot!! eh

o1s1n

I shoot in my hall but it's not nearly long enough. Take a cardboard cereal box and put a tea towel inside of it. Catches about 99% of the bbs.

Unfortunately tonight, I decided not to take the cereal out of the box. (Thought for some reason the plastic inside would be bb proof).

Result: Crunchy nut that can break teeth. God damn. Was only a new box too.

Compton

why?! what a waste of delicious kellogs crunchy nut...... um think of the crunch....

plenty of roughage in your diet then..that'll clear you out in the mornings!!;)

theburi

I will go for a 5 per visit 2-3 hours.

Somewhere southside, centre.
Shooting range can easly be a small cqb. It may double up and attract more people.

Well sounds like someone will not have to worry about fibre supplements.

Talk about taking airsoft to the extreme! O1s1n that's hardcore airsoft when you're eating your ammo

He'll be a Biological Airsoft gun:D

Witcher

get a big box, put a sheet of foam on the inside, clip a target to the outside

and fire, bb's just hit foam and stay in box and can then just be put in to bin!

Interesting iceage, that idea was suggested to me as well.we set it up out the back of a mates house and it works a charm.Just wondering was it suggested to us by the same person(as we live in the same town)?

You bring a new meaning to the phrase "sh*tting bullets"

weeder

this is a cool idea but might be an idea to give an option of paying on the day as opposed to a membership

on a similar note, i was shooting in my room but there was an accident with an lcd so its mainly outside from now on

dont gota worrie bout rent all covered

lil dave

big wide open field..flat land...small sheltered area..thats all the terrain i suppose

bullets

A indoor place would be great for a bit of Pistol Work too.

On wet days I've fired at the towels on the washing line. They catch the
BB's pretty well. (on frosty days thats extra fun) Got a natural wall at the end of my
garden where I set up clays from clay pigeon shooting or plastic flower pots.
I only shoot in the garden when no neighbours are about. (Both sides of me are
gone away most of the time)

Hey hey, Judge so it seems we use the same bb' catcher!! send us a PM, maybe as you said it was suggested by the same big fella.:D

me and a friend are hoping to use his uncles land for target practise which has tonnes of space to fire off a few rounds

Has anyone got an idea for a site in the south yet... We've got one in the East... we got one in the West... The south needs somewhere... anywhere.....

c-90

to be honest it would just be another way to waste bbs and money, well unless you live in a flat or something. what would the insurance be like for one?:cool:

lil dave

well you know theres nowhere else to shoot your gun really so places like this are ideal
