Gents
I was going to pm Mike Roberts with these suggestions but thought I might as well do it in open forum to see if anyone thinks it has 'legs'.
I really hope that we continue to be able to use the ranges for long distance shoots but current targetry is limited and I have shot enough tanks.
I thought about getting my own ipsc gong or gongs but then it's not eay to alter ranges after initial placement as well as being fairly expensive. ...so.... what do people think about pooling resources and maybe buying a few from Bruce Hutton that we can place at agreed distances for any given session for communal use ?

Sounds like a good idea only down side I can see is the range we shot on last time at Salisbury the land dipped at around 1300-1400 yards and came back into sight at 2100 leaving a big gap in a place to put targets. Lydd range has a clear view to 1644 yards so might be better there if we can put them out

Not sure about the overall topography but just testing the waters at this stage.

Not a bad idea. I'd be happy to contribute if to use at Salisbury. Still haven't made it to Lydd or sennybridge yet.

I was thinking pretty much about Salisbury in the first instance but we need to see who is interested and whether we can get cash together and perhaps a qty discount ex BH?
Who is going on Saturday?

At 25 yards you might be hit with ricochet, any further you'd miss

Your all very trusting, but I'd happily look after them

Hope to chat about it on Sat at Salisbury?
My thinking was about 3 steels (IPSC?) at minimum and sharing costs amongst maybe 6 to 10 interested bods?
