Getting dark! We’re Back Inside

The sun has finally gone so we are back to the inside range for the Winter.

The dark and cold has gone so we are back to the inside range.

If any of our new or probationary members aren’t sure where the inside range is then look here or ask one of the other members.

The range rules are much the same –Rule 1a bring water and milk,1b put the kettle on!

Spammers

It can be hard work running web sites! A new form of spammer has been trying to get comments on here recently –the comment comes in as a compliment on how good the site is and requests information on how we do it and find such interesting information. There is code behind the comment however and if clicked on it whizzes the reader off to a gambling site or a site flogging products to expand your sexual prowess!! We moderate every comment and will ditch anything that looks the least bit suspicious so spammers,please stop doing it.

Update:Owing to the volume of Spam coming in via post comments we’re sorry but we’ve closed the comments on the public side of this web site.

Petition against airgun ban in Scotland

The Calman Report recommends that The Scottish Parliament should be handed control of airgun legislation in Scotland. The Scottish Parliament will undoubtedly use this power to place a ban on unlicensed airguns in Scotland. This measure harms the legitimate sporting shooter and fails to address the real problem;that caused by unlawful use of airguns. Criminal use of airguns by its nature cannot be legislated against by removing airguns from those who abide by the law.

We believe that this ban will have an adverse effect on legitimate sporting shooting,and will provide no deterrent to those who misuse airguns. The Labour Party’s own ‘Charter for Shooting’(2005) recognises there is no connection between legitimate sporting shooting and gun crime. Airgun crime in Scotland has fallen according to the Gun Control Network’s statistics from 1005 offences 15 years ago to 567 last year.

This new legislation would erode the civil liberties of sporting shooters in Scotland and fail to remove airguns from the hands of criminals.

We therefore petition you to refuse devolved power for Airgun legislation in Scotland.
