Precision .22LR

[bowji john]

We've spent a bit of time this lock down building a Precision Rifle Series style layout for .22LR

Aimed at those with

1. .22LR precision practice requirements to augment their centre fire PRS skills
2. A desire to hone their field precision shooting skills
3. A desire to get some fresh air and shoot for fun
4. A desire to get into precision shooting or see what it is all about

Shooters can either use my rifles under the 'estate rifle rules' or bring their own - I will have available a range of rifles from 452 / 455 CZs, Blaser R8 to Vudoo V22s.

Those that bring their own firearm will need to have them 'conditioned' for vermin control as opposed to target as we are not an HO approved range

We are operating under the miniature rifle range rules so are not age restricted to 17 years old - the youngest we can accommodate is 12

All attendees will either be required to show their FAC and/or fill in a Section 21 notice as required under the Firearms Act, declaring that they are not banned from using a firearm. (PM me should you require further info).

We shoot off barricades (similar to those you would use in the field) from 50m to 160m at targets of 3", 2" and 1"

Free standing shooting available on request, as is load dev and centre fire practice but that is separate from the ''miniature range'' activities

Individual and group instruction available

Moderators will be required on all personal firearms

We have range insurance to £5 million

I'm keeping the cost reasonable so £75.00 per person per day (ammo bought at cost) - max 12 people, but I'm happy if just one wants to come - however that is £100 for a single person

We are near Newquay, Cornwall

Obviously not available until the lurgy rules are lifted

For attendees under the age of 17, conditions apply - PM for details

Each day there is an appropriate ''course of fire'' that all attendees will have to follow - the layout doesn't allow for individuals to shoot their own COF if others are present

 

[mimo]

Interested depending on dates. No FAC but a little previous experience, would also like to bring a novice +1.

Morning Mimo

Last year precision22lr celebrated its 10th year as a shooting range down here in Cornwall

If you find yourselves in the area and would like to:

Bring the family

Anyone over 12 may shoot .22LR as we run the range under Section 11.4 of the Firearms Act

Shoot with your mates

We can accommodate up to 6 people for either a full or half day (More than 6 ? Contact us). We use top quality .22LR rifles like the Dolphin Cz 457, Vudoo, Blaser and Lantac semi auto

Need to develop dope on your own rifle?

You can develop your dope out to 150m here on the range. You may also make use of the Caldwell Velocimeter to establish drops and true ballistic coefficient for your preferred make of ammo

Learn a bit more about Ballistics

We offer a busy one day course that will introduce you to internal, external and terminal ballistics

All shooting is done from within covered shooting shacks so weather is not an issue

I'm unsure whether I'm allowed to put a website link here so if you require further info, just PM me

Cheers all

John

New bit of kit for my own rabbit control and for training courses on the range

Seen here with clients engaging targets from 8” to 2” from 150m

What ammo are they using and what's the drop at 150m, must be one or two feet?

We're running PRS comps at our club now, only out to 50m but the targets are tiny for those of us with aging eyesight.

 

[bowji john]

The drop is an 8 Degree down angle on the range -though I'm not sure that is really what you are asking

We use a range of ammo depending upon the rifles we use

As you probably know, .22 lr rifles are incredibly fussy to feed

Our Cz rifles like cci 40 grain and Geco semi auto 40 grain

I have two Dolphin Gun Company precision rifles and one Vudoo Gunworks rifle - they like a more expensive diet

All will say within a 2" group at 100m with the cci stuff

Except, of course, when the wind is blowing - there in lies one of the challenges

One of the great things about .22 at 50 - 150m is that the skills and knowledge acquired whilst mastering precision at these distances, transfers quite well to the centre fire calibers when shooting out to much greater distance

An exercise we run is to place the shooter at an unknown distance which they will range using a pair of ballistic binos.

They look up the click adjustment from a dope sheet (70m zero); dial and shoot two rounds 'for affect' at a 3" target

Then move onto the next shooting position

We also have a short range for CQB type drills on turning targets at 30m using AR 15 platforms

Outside .22 LR shooting we shoot .223, 6.5x55; 6.5 creed; 9.3 x x62 and 404 Jeffery

The latter geared towards DG training

Hope that helps?

Really considering 17 hmr! Need space in the cabinet first though!

 

[slowworm]

Hope that helps?

Yes, just curious really. I mostly target shoot but in the back of my mind I like to think about live quarry shooting, so don't tend to shoot my .22s much beyond 50m. They also also don't seem to be that fussy although I know many others struggle.

2nd hand cabinets are quite cheap!

 

[johnnytheboy]

My last cabinet was the main cabinet from a shooting estate, my new cabinet is even bigger, it might be more of an issue to motivate myself to reduce stock holding! Maybe I phrased it wrong

 

[slowworm]

These days it's getting more about proving usage than cabinet space. Something ranges can help with.
