I've gone with 300. It's still a fairly challenging range to shoot at. Irons won't feel disadvantaged at that distance and really, is it not more of a social get together than a "shoot"? At 600, the shooting itself may become all consuming........
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

If the cost of £250 is for the whole range then we could shoot multiple distances (assuming enough RCO's) concurrently to please everyone.

I think it is GBP250 for one distance and GBP500 for the whole range Heather. The ability to shoot at different distances is appealing, as is a group made up of F-B(UK)'ers.

Downside is if only ten of us show it is going to be pricey, easy answer is we need more people!!!!! :D
