    Are there any ranges in the Leinster area that are open during the week that you can shoot in ? The range I'm currently a member of is focused on Saturdays only which don't suit me due to work.

    No there are plenty of RO's here at the weekends and some mid week days as well.
    If you make arrangements to visit with the range operators an RO will be there.

    As a member can you arrive down any day to shoot and an RO will be there ?

    No and Yes :confused::confused:

    The range operators are RO's and are there most days (but ring first). The owner, also an range operator and RO lives nearby.
    But as with all things if they don't know your going then they may have the day off.

    Members usually buddy up and make sure there is an RO there if they aren't an RO. But again if the/an RO wants to shoot then another RO must be present.
    NO RO on the line, then NO SHOOTING.

    HH must have over 100 RO's members trained up so it's easy to arrange.
    Also if you aren't a member you must be with a member to shoot, and they must have a duty of care of/for you whilst your on site.
    All RO's at HH are doing an up-skilling course at the moment, to keep them up to date with any new practises and requirements.

    There is a big competition on this Saturday so if your off work try to make it over.
