Another is heading to Pennsylvania to live with Fabio in East Stroudsburg.  He reckons that it will better protect him from  unruly students in his history class at the high school.  So, Fabio, did you want the .303 Bren light machine gun as well?

We were too busy to take pics, so please email or post yours on our Facebook wall – especially any action shots or the vehicle silhouette against the night sky.

The .303 Bren Gun attracted much attention, and not just from the younger element.  We also brought the 6×6 Supacat out for an airing – amazing vehicle.

Hope the owner of the shiny BMW was able to wash off the mud splattered on it by that rather close and over exuberant turn of the APC!

Finally special thanks to Ken, Dan, Josh, and Andrew for setting up and running the event.  Cheers, Richard.

Ranging (sorry!) from .22/5.5mm bolt action compound gas with ten shot magazines/tele sights, to our largest piece, single shot 155mm (but not fired from the shoulder – needs a gun crew of 8 -  our Foden gun tractor –  and a 20 mile exclusion zone).  You can shoot at knock down figures, or if more seriously inclined 5 bull targets and be aided by our Bisley coach.  The rifles (we also have some pistols) are of traditional British/German manufacture.  If shooting becomes of special interest you may like to join an informal group – your weapons or ours – on a regular basis for practice.  (Other FAC holders especially welcome).  We can also guide you to a suitable club for small bore (.22) or full bore (such as our classic .303 Lee Enfield) shooting at ranges to 600 yards.

If you are an enthusiastic and experienced rifle shot, interested in coaching others on the odd day or weekend, please tell Richard.
