    Greetings all. After spending the last 2 weeks trying to absorb any info I can for the sport of Point/Squeeze/Bang from the 52 pages of threads on target shooting I need to start with questions somewhere.

    I have been to the midlands shooting range five times with my .22 Browning just to get a start on the long and expensive road of target shooting. I have recently upgraded to a Remington 700 SPS Varment .223 cal with a decent scope and Harris bi-pod.

    Due to austerity measures imposed on me by a financial institution and my wife, membership of the above fine facility will have to wait until next year.

    Question 1; can I shoot there with my .223 without being a member?
    Question 2; Where can I get reading material to for a beginer to start understanding the language, classes and rules for target shooting with a rifle?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Okay, I think that's enough slagging for one thread lads, could we answer GE's question maybe?

    Question 1; can I shoot there with my .223 without being a member? yes, if a member signs you in (vouches for you) you provide proof of licence and insurance
    Question 2; Where can I get reading material to for a beginer to start understanding the language, classes and rules for target shooting with a rifle?
    There are a number of courses available. Contact JP for details.

    For language, well you'll pick some up as you go along, best way is to go along and someone there will help you out if you ask

    Because Tackleberrywho's post was so disjointed and misquoted, I'll endeavour to fix it for the OP to save him (or anyone else) doing the head-scratching I did :)

    This bit is all by me ;)

    For Tack: quoting another post puts QUOTE in square brackets at the beginning of the quote and /QUOTE in square brackets at the end. You can also add =postername after the first QUOTE to give the quote a heading of "originally posted by postername"

    It's not terribly difficult, but when you make a mess of it, it's incredibly difficult to follow who said what :(
