Shooting Forum - Firearms licencing information

Cadpat_cowboy · 2017-05-24 00:51:43

Hello boards I Am considering applying for a firearms licence for a Ruger 10/22 Semi Auto Rimfire Rifle. This will be the first firearm I have ever applied for so I Am wondering is a semi auto rifle a little bit too much to ask for. I live in a rural area and have got verbal permission off 3 local farms to use there land…

Couldn't recommend one over the other no - have been a visitor shooting in both venues several times and the facilities and the folk there I've always found to be top notch. For rimfire, there's nothing in it; so my advice would be use both!

Bullseye 360 is an open discipline, so you don't need to be an MNSCI member to shoot it. You just need a qualifying rifle with two magazines, and insurance, and you can shoot as a visitor for €15.

It's a 30 shot detail: 10 shots prone at 50m; 10 sitting or kneeling at 40m; 10 standing at 25m. All unsupported, no slings, bipods, bags, etc...

Very quick, great craic and targets that are big enough to make sure that even a novice can feel good about themselves.

I shoot it most months, and mostly for the banter with the other lads - well worth the trip out IMO.

Next match is the 17th of this month, and it'll be announced in this thread on here. Rifle detail generally starts around 12:30 so if you're there about 11-11:30 that'll give you time to sign in, introduce yourself and get a quick zero in on the range before the detail itself.

That sounds like it could be good crack man will defiantly check it out in the near future.

this thread should be stickied.. I'm thinking about getting into shooting and Cass's and everyone else's information has been exactly what I needed to know.
