30 mins to Castlelaw MOD range.
1 .5 hrs to my club 100 yard range not a great problem as my sister and her husband are 10 minutes from the range
4 hrs each way to Manchester for my Sec 7.3 Pistols, it used to be 8hrs to Bisley and an overnight stay

So I rang Diggle range up, they asked me to email them which I have done.

Their site looks incredible, and their PSG is spot on.

Great :)

I started out the same as you after almost 20 years shooting shotguns I wanted a change. 8 months later I am shooting full bore and loving it. Its a bit of a long process but worth it. For outdoor shooting Diggle is one of the best set ups in the country. IMHO of course!

Less than 3 miles to my club range, which is nice.

Only downside is my home range is rimfire only so if I'm using my centrefire stuff I'm heading up to the county range about 40 miles away.
