Silhouttes shooting, license, club etc.

risa.k

Hi,
I used to shoot when I was teenager (.22 target)... and I am thinking to try it again... and coz i dont like that tight dress which u wear when u shoot rifle at 50m I'm looking at silhoutte shooting...
Where are clubs in Dublin area with this size of range and can I borrow a gun at the club?
The thing is I'm not Irish and I have no clue if I can get a gun license
thanks for any help

Yeah, I know of one in Kildare, but it belongs to the army =p

I think the OP was looking for silhouette shooting - which rules out a lot of the clubs above. East coast can't shoot sils yet until they do some range modifications, DRC didn't have sils last I saw, RRPC doesn't unless there's a cunningly hidden secret range there , so I think the choices are BRC, Eagles or Hilltop. Email info@shooting.ie to contact the NSAI and ask.

whilst on the topic is there any clubs where you can shoot a 17hmr down the range or is it a touchy subject
i usually go down the fields but would like to be able to sit down and shoot from a steady position for a change

Midlands, they may prefer if yuo used the 100 yard range though, but they try an make exceptions if u are unable to shoot this far
