Hi all Was thinking of joining the hilltop club I have a 22 bergara and was looking to a bit of target shooting and in general just have somewhere to go of a weekend. I was just wondering what sort of ranges and facilities they have up there. Thanks

The range is closed, completely?
I knew years back they were fighting some noise complaint rubbish but didn't hear anything after that.

Never forget, the end goal is zero firearms of any type.

S.I. No. 21/2008 - Firearms (Restricted Firearms and Ammunition) Order 2008 - Firearm types restricted
