    March 2023 Postal Target

    Last day of the month and last minute preparation!! Had to redo the bedding block under the breech and polish out some rusty bits in the bore last night. Had a few ml sceptics watching today. According to them, if it doesn’t come out of a brass cartridge, break the hypersonic barrier and give...

    August Postal Match Target

    Thanks for the compliment. However I did spend the morning shooting a variety of balls and powder charges before I worked up the courage to have a go at the target !!

    Just back after a year or so away. Shot my August target. How do I attach / insert the photo of it. I’ve obviously forgotten. Robert

    What did you do today

    Hi Tac We went into lockdown at 8pm last night. Curfew in place from 8pm every night as well. All ranges closed - indoor and outdoor. In fact everywhere is supposed to close at 8pm. Haven’t done anything except watch TV. However, tomorrow morning I am going to plan the next 6 weeks by...

    October 2020 Postal Match - Squirrel

    Missed the last couple of comps due to weather, entering the Irish Open ( sorry to say not muzzleloaders )and getting conversion back to flinchlock kind of sorted. Filing the front sight down at midnight! Not a great score but laugh value for others on the range was worth it. Robert

    Hello from Northern Ireland

    Morning Ian, Glad to see you’ve arrived here. That now makes 2 Ulstermen on the forum. The August comp targets are in a Poly pocket and will be left in the range hut for you to collect. I will call with Dave McC in the next couple of days and see if he knows how many of the old gang are still...

    July 2020 Postal Match - Bear Hunt

    Just discovered the competition details last week and dug out my old Pennsylvania. It was flint but is noW percussion until I get the sights sorted whereupon it will go back to flint. Thought I had sent the targets to you by another means but I must have failed. Hope you don’t mind me submitting...

    Hello from Northern Ireland

    Take care. The brother of my longest known and best shooting friends died from C19 about six weeks ago. No underlying conditions. A fit and healthy man who was working six days a week up until he felt ill. We closed the range down for 10 weeks and have just now partially opened for limited...

    Hello from Northern Ireland

    Thank you. Strangely enough, the boss informed me last night that,because the weather forecast was so good, we were going on a day trip to the lower Glens today. If the weather holds we should get some spectacular views across the North Channel to Scotland.

    Hello from Northern Ireland

    Think the C19 has cancelled everything. I know the guy who organises the Game fairs. I’ll ask but not much hope of anything at the moment. I can’t even go sailing in case I have to call the coastguard or RAF for help !

    Hello from Northern Ireland

    Did you visit Northern Ireland or stay in the Republic ? We have some nice scenery as well.

    Hello from Northern Ireland

    Been using them for years. My first long gun was a muzzle loading Enfield. Still have it and shoot it. The RUC always took the view that if you were granted a firearms certificate you were a good guy/girl and usually gave you what you wanted. They also issued explosive certificates free and on...

    Hello from Northern Ireland

    In 1993 the Ulster Rifle Association and I hosted three officials from the Republics Department of Justice to a range session on our facility just outside Belfast. The aim was to help our Southere colleagues who had to travel north to shoot target rifle and pistol. Did everything from a Walker...
