Zero range at Bisley

I'll be picking up a new toy from Fultons tomorrow and would like to zero it. What is the procedure for booking a lane on the zero range? I'm not an NRA member - will that be a drama?

Anyone else about in the early-to-mid afternoon? PM me if you will be and we can meet up!


Cheers,

Dr. S

Dr,

This is a bone of contention, but as a non NRA member you can not use the zero range. Fulton's should have an arrangement with the NRA but I can imagine their faces should you ask them to do it for you.

Or you could join the NRA?

DM

edit: Are you a member of a NRA affiliated club? You would need someone to phone up in advance to book the lane in the name of the club - I believe - might be wrong,

When I picked up a rifle from Fultons, I went into the range office and asked for a lane on the zero range, no prebooking, paid my £4 for 7.62 card and off I went, job done. Not asked for a card or anything..
You should be ok.

Took me a minute Christel but I think I'll do just that! I'm a member of LERA, not sure how happy they'd be with me using their name like that!

I'll just act as if I'm allowed to be there, confidence is key!

no need to worry about booking, like Bnz41 says just roll up and as for a card, they may ask for a SCC, one tip, if you are using a highmag scope, then get someone to spot for you, as it can be a bugger to spot the shot if it is off the card, in fact try and get someone with eyesight to spot for you, as the last time I used it the guy spotting sent me all over the shop before I twigged he was clueless :bad: :lol: :lol:

If I am lucky I may get my 9mm back tomorrow and if I am allowed to, will try it out on the zero range, so if you see a SGC Lever release being fired say hello,

God luck,
