This site, hopefully, should enable you if you are interested in any shooting sport. Whilst we wish to help promote our club with its long history, in these hoplophobic days we feel it is in the interest of all concerned to be active to some degree in as many areas as possible. Currently we have a 10 metre air pistol, 25 yard prone indoor and 3 position indoor. Outdoor we have a 50m and 100yd range, which is also rented to other clubs and associations for competitions.
When I first started to shoot there was snobbery and a reluctance to accept young or inexperienced shooters, which unfortunately is still common today. Young shooters, no matter which genre of the sport they decide to participate in are the future of our sport and should be assisted in any way possible. To this end we do all we can to help new shooters with advice or supply contacts to those who have the required knowledge.
In the links area you will find a political link (more as they become known). Gun issues affect all of us in the shooting sports and our sport is ultimately governed not by the N.R.A. or N.S.R.A. but by the politicians of the day. If you own a gun make your voice heard by contacting your M.P. and more importantly, supporting one or more of the associations fighting for your chosen sport.
For details of a club near you contact the National Small-bore Rifle Association, e-mail: info@nsra.co.uk

| Truth Squad! | |
|  Hello fellow shooter, After the latest in a run of shooting and gun related articles and politicians, of whatever party, prepared to ignore the views of shooters. I now have a considerable list of grass roots shooters and gun owners who are prepared to step up to the plate and correct the wrongs dealt us. Are you one of them?
If so, sign up for the news letter, this email is designed to keep you up to date with articles, news or prospective laws and rule changes. As a member of the Truth Squad you will receive an email detailing the problem and what needs to be done. In addition if you become aware of an item that would adversely affect gun ownership or shooting, send me an email with the details and I will send out the call.
It is my belief that the general media is hugely biased against gun owners and gun ownership. This is so clear that it defies debate. It's hard to get the truth printed or aired. But there is a way to do it, however, within the letters to the editor of many papers. Newspapers are still important today even with the high speed communications of the internet, but remember that politicians read the letters section to know what the public is thinking and saying. It has impact. Plus, a good letter in a paper can and will be picked up and forwarded around the world in emails.
Should you decide to that you wish to help, there will not be emails every day, week or even every month, just when your help is needed to protect shooting and firearms ownership by law abiding members of society undertaking all legal and recognised shooting disciplines.
I do hope that you can spare a little of your time, when needed, to help keep your sport alive for future generations.

| Just for fun? | |
|  In the past few months there has been a lot of talk regarding the government of this and other countries borrowing money. In the vast amount of cases this money has and will never exist. But what if it did? Just how much have the worlds leaders borrowed in real folding money. The U.S. is well over a trillion $ and the U.K. is not far behind. So to see a graphic representation CLICK HERE. As I say it's just for fun!

| Banardo's update. | |
|  We here and others around the country were appalled, and rightly so, by the Banardo’s web based promotional video showing the hunting of children by people with firearms. There was a lot of positive action taken by firearms owners who contacted their M.P’s, shooting organisations and others who may be able to bring pressure to bare to either have the video removed or a disclaimer posted. The British Association for Shooting and Conservation in their quarterly magazine ran a two page article highlighting the problem video. As of the time of writing this, no article has been published detailing the outcome of the campaign to resolve the concerns of firearms owners. Well, if you follow the link (click here) you will see that the video has been removed and there is also a disclaimer that the video was not representative of legitimate hunters, sportsmen and women and firearms owners. The disclaimer was all that was asked for the removal of the video was a bonus. Whilst I do not use generalisations, I was unable to find anyone that was against Banardo’s or the work that they do, they did however all agree that the misrepresentation and marginalisation of an individual or group of individuals for the promotion of a cause, no matter how worthy, was wrong.

| British Shooting Amazed at Illogical Decision. | |
| It's time to get started! | |
|  Within the next 18 months there will be a general election and whilst at this time the politicians have other things on their minds there is no room for complacency. The national press and media are quick to draw parallels with the terrible criminal shootings around the world as well as at home and place the burden upon legitimate sportsmen and women like you and me. In the run up to the election there are things you need to do but first and foremost you need to get involved. The most productive way to get involved is to get, and meet other like mind individuals to find out what is already being done. A flyer can be downloaded (CLICK HERE ) and printed or emailed to friends, family or acquaintances. When the election is finally announced, hopefully you will have a base network. This can be used to correct statements put forward by the candidates in your area should they attempt to mislead voters on issues important to our way of life and recreational activities. P.S. Sorry about the size but it should print on a single A4 sheet.
