    New regulations proposed by MOD for ranges in UK including Bisley.
    Is this the end of fullbore in UK?
    :mad:

    Well it's for MoD ranges (which includes Bisley). It doesn't appear to be in effect for civilian ranges. The MoD don't have any jurisdiction on civilian ranges since certification was taken over by the NRA and NSRA.

    It appears to be a stupid limit because it doesn't take eveything into account, but what would you expect from the Military?

    Best of my knowledge most 600/1000 yard ranges in UK are leased by NRA from the MOD. Thats the story with Bisley, Altcar Blair Athol and others. I think Diggle is private.

    Thars trouble in the wind,,,

    The GAA has asked the MOD estates for 35 acres of Ballykinlar for a sports center ??
    The rest will go for housing in four years time.....

    Wouldn't be too suprised if there was a new offensive by the anti-gun movement in the UK after the distraction of getting the toys banned :rolleyes:
