Catton Park Range

#1 Post by rowey64 »

Morning folks,

Been looking for a midlands club that's taking new members without success (for fullbore) anyway, but came across Catton park range which is basically book, turn up, and shoot with ranges out to 450m. Looks good. I wondered if anyone off here has been and would value your opinions.

Cheers

I believe you need an'open' ticket to shoot at Catton park, so if you only have target permission it will be a no go
Will need to show proof of insurance as well if I remember correctly
I always intended to go when I lived in Warwickshire but never got around to it
I stand to be corrected on the above but pretty sure that's how it's ran

I believe the mad badger has been. I'm sure I read a review they posted on here.

Do let us know. I have an open ticket but only some .22 rifles listed for vermin etc. I guess that means I can shoot my other stuff as long as adequate insurance is in place?

If you have an 'open ticket' it will be specified against specific rifles and if you have rifles that are for target use at a range only then I believe that you will not be able to use them, best to check with Catton
