What about ammo holdings? Anally retentive?

Slow??? Took a variation for an extra rifle in on a Monday, grant came back following Monday. Seven days...............a lot quicker than it used to be.

Must have improved then, chap I shoot with waited months for a variation.

Just to throw something into the mix, I read years ago that the most ranges/gunclubs are in Yorkshire, with the rest of the Northern counties having a fair few as well. Land is at a premium in the South....

Definitely not slow in my experience. Last variation took less than two weeks, which I was happy with.

Main problem with Hampshire is it's a bit like Essex used to be..........................................................in 1950

Tipner is an RN Range, still in use but not available for civilian use.

Are these guys no longer using it then?

Anyone have experience of the above?

Going back to holdings - what's Hants' typical allowance?

I've heard quite a few positive reports about Hampshire lately, last year they were attrocious with 1:1 variations taking months. But - it now seems that they have really sorted it out. Just shows it can be done.

Can anyone recommend a decent, broad-minded RFD in Hants or West Sussex who I can transfer my stuff to?
