From: "Alex Hamilton", [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have heard from a reliable source that the new requirement is in the
pipeline requiring all ranges to have 600 yds danger area behind the
butts, or where this is not possible a 100 foot wall.
The really sinister implication is that where a re-certification is
required due to, say, any alterations or an additional calibre, ranges
that cannot satisfy the new danger area requirement will be closed!!!!
Do you have any more information about this?

Sounds like nonsense to me. The MoD uses the NATO spec., so
unless NATO has proposed doing this I don't see it happening.

Apparently, these "regulations" are contained in a document known as
Pamphlet No.21, hitherto confidential, which I understand is now
available to the public. The regulations are not new and have applied
to new ranges for some time - not surprising that we are not seeing many
new ranges under construction!!
The intention is, I am told, to subject all ranges to these regulations
if re-certification is required following a major reconstruction,
extension or an application for additional calibre. The danger is that
most ranges will, in effect, be closed on re-certification unless they
can acquire a 600yd danger area or build a 100 foot wall.
If this really is in the pipeline, then the sooner we know the details
the better and if any Cybershooter can get hold of this Pamphet No.21 it
should be put on a website for all to see.
You have exceptional powers to get to the bottom of things, Steve, so
can you get this document?
Alex.

Actually what I usually do is stick it on here because someone
usually knows the answer. I suppose I can phone up the Colonel
and ask him, I have his contact details somewhere.
