    That rumor has been doing the rounds for a couple of years now and by all accounts its true. Their FB page is still up and running which seems to counter the idea they are closed but appeal after appeal was apparently lost the last of which was last year.

    So hard to know and frankly its a subject no one really wants to address, the loss of a range, but i'm sure we'll get an answer when its definitive.

    If we are talking about the same range, I believe they can continue to shoot shotgun there but I think rifle and pistol are gone.

    How can that be if the complaints were over noise ?

    You need range authorisation for rifle and pistol.

    As far as I'm aware, you don't need range authorisation to do clay pigeon shooting.

    I didn't think there were any ranges left in Dublin county apart from Courtlough. What club is closing ?

    There are a few in Dublin, Fingal I think is still in Dublin and one in Tallaght/Firhouse for Sils and I think there are one or two indoor ranges.

    Plenty of Ranges around the country, now whether they cater for your type of shooting or are within handy driving distance, thats another thing...

    Everyone wants them on their doorstep, but fate, the council and the "Typical Irish", lets object because we can crowd ruined a lot. Sure rival range owners messed up just as many.

    I'm blessed the Midlands is 40 mins from my door.

    First they came for the socialists...

    I'm in Meath, it's 1.5 hours for me. Never been there, would love to go down and try the place out. Obviously by the time you reach 300m your probably parachuting .22lr rounds into the target.... But watching lots of long range shooting videos on YouTube has really peaked an interest, my own local range is 50m, which is perfectly adequate but we always want MORE!
