>>The thought occurs that is there any possibility of buying
some of these
ranges off the MoD? Or leasing them at any rate.
I have mentioned this idea casually to other shooters before,
as far as I can see its quite sound.
The closest Range to me is Ponteland. I got a copy of the
booking sheet for all 3 Ranges there a while back and
throughout the entire year it was only being used for about
25% of the time. That included all use by civvies and the
Military for an entire year! The complex comprises of 3 ranges,
2 having 12 lanes and one has I think 10. Distances from 100-
600 yards. There is a massive house which I believe is
occupied by the head Warden along with workshops etc and 2
car parks.
Now if the running of this complex were contracted out to a
private company I bet you could provide the Military with it's
current level of use for free whilst making a decent profit by
opening it 7 days a week morning till night for civilians to use.
You could put a bar and restuarant in part of the house and
employ a live in steward to run it. You would also have room
for a bloody decent gun shop.
I've got a bit of cash coming from the disposal of a buisiness
so if any ones intrested in putting a plan together mail me.

Sounds like a plan to me, are the MoD interested in leasing it out?
