From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fantastic calculation! Unfortunately, the miss rate is probably much higher than that on a windy day, for those with little experience of wind, starting at a longer range. However, I doubt that many of these would actually ever stray *over* the stop butts. Surely, however, a simpler answer would be to raise a thick woodand steel fence, of the appropriate height. One thing to note, however, is that BP rifle may be coming down at the absolutely end of it's range, and so dropping much faster than a standard 7.62 Nato rifle round, having been elevated further to make it 400 yards, etc. Combined with calculations showing the tiny risk, the fence should be ok. After a few years, simply take a close look at the fence, and see if there are any hits on it. This would prove the safety either way, but, with the fence still there, it would *still* be safe, even if the fence was struck! This would remove the need for an armoured vehicle which would prove a tempting target to the Army lads, no doubt. (It's the training!) As for extra facilities, surely the numerous bars... :) Actually, I find Bisley nice mainly because, normally, shooting and drinking are as far separate as two things can be, what with driving home afterwards. Bisley lets you lock everything away, then have a drink, socialise, then walk back to your caravan, digs, etc. Something like a bowls green would be good, as this would get lots of non-shooters in to meet the shooters, and they would see we don't have m16's and three heads. Anything too wild, thou, would ruin the atmosphere, IMHO. Nigel -- I take my AR-15 to Bisley!!
