No sir no shootn outside the clubrange.
I was in a club that was in a military range, so had bit more liberties 2 mile wilderness and huge embankements in between ranges.. desolation by comparison to other ranges.
But it was a 130 mile drive to get there , went almost every weekend.
walk 400 meters put up target holder ; shoot
i'de often go out to the side ranges, Shorter, but not as crowded, to pistol snap shoot work.. or chase a can around the floor.. officially not allowed, but ok nobody cared if you were by yourself.. and it helps if you are the RO
And the MP's didn't bother either just as long as you had your clearance on ya
Basically I went shooting where all the SF types went during the week.. still got 57 rounds and shells from when they had the terror attacks in Belgium and France, and the SF types were doing running drills and well you can't police brass in a 400 meter sandbox while you ran around shooting.. not practical
essentially a sand plain.. with some bushes.
it takes a lot of effort do do real shooting in Belgium.
I have, and went beyond Belgium.. but it was hard work, and for every hour shooting it was 5 hours driving and 2 hours reloading. Minimum.
I went every weekend for pretty much 5 years. straight.
Most just go to the club to talk small groups, shoot some rounds and get the stamp for their anual license renual.
they shot to be allowed to have guns
I had guns to go shoot
My job to to much and i stopped, sold the stuff
now now job, more energy.. I'm starting to feel a bit of an itch.
But not sure I wanna go back to the fanatic LR shooting, its a lot of work to do it properly now with UK out of EU.. harder to get to Bisley as well (my UK safe and cometent shooting license expired, harder to get a new one again)
