News
Range Day At Swayfield
Saturday 6th August 2022
Please be on site at 0930hrs for an 1000hrs shoot.
Following our theme of development, we have now the facility to not only deal with 100m zeroing and deer targets but to facilitate 150m shooting as well for those members that wish to use this.
Time on the firing point has also been increased from 60 minutes to 90 minutes, in order to follow zeroing and then developmental shooting.
We are particularly interested in any members who are already shooting non-toxic ammunition or who wish to try to move onto it to attend on this day. Some members will be present with experience of non-toxic and we look forward to discussing the matter further.
Any interested members please email Eastmercia@bds.org.uk to book a place and to be given What3Words location and further relevant information.

If your contact information has changed please make sure to let us know. To update your details simply email membership@bds.org.uk or call 01425 655434.
