Anyone else shoot historic pistol at Bisley?

24" and less, a place to discuss all things handgun related, section 7.3. Long barrelled revolvers, long barrelled pistols and section 5. Overseas contributions are more than welcome.

Which aint much of an explanation; it's more of a statement of 'we're cancelling it because we can'

The guys that run the club are going in for a meeting with the NRA soon when I'm sure we'll learn more, but right now, all we know is that our club bookings are cancelled, whether we like it or not.
We have seen an NRA email proposing the same, NRA arranged days to include all 7.3 clubs @ fixed price per person, no individual club bookings, I believe a meeting to discuss is happening on the 14th so it may not be set in stone.

When guns are outlawed, only Outlaws will have guns

Yes, sounds like the meeting went well and hopefully club bookings will be back on the cards and possibly some NRA evening shoots too.
Don't want to pass on any info that's not official so still need to see the updates in writing.

Oh hell, I remember them Dan :oops: The first ND any fool had on a range I was running used one teanews

As a total aside, does anyone know what became of the sectioned revolver that used to be in Fultons in the 80s with 6 bullets stuck up the barrel?

Just for reference the range dates are published here, so far it all seems to be working well.
