    I live in Mid Wales and I cant seem to track down any air Gun Clubs in my area, only the odd group of people which likes to shoot a metal target with a bell in the centre at their local pub.. not exactly exciting! Rolling Eyes

    Maybe someone could list a number of Clubs/Centres throughout Britain Question

    If you interested in travelling abit theres a club in felixtowe that does most types of shooting, excluding long range target rifle and clay pidgeon shooting. It has a 100 yard range.

    Sadly some places just laugh airgunners away. I've not seen very many airgunners at a rifle club. Infact only three including myself. Its not often used unfortunatly.

    Some places shun airguns, thinking their toys or something stupid like that. Most people were interested to see my air rifle when I took it down. Im lucky to shoot in a place full of really nice people. The humour takes some getting used to but thats because its suffolk Laughing
