The Earl Dysart range

For many years this range was for .22lr guns only. Now it has been upgraded so.38, .44, 9mm guns can be used. The limitation of a gun to be used is decided by a power limit of the gun being fired. Most full bore rifles are banned, pistol cartridge rifles are mostly ok

Such a shame, but it takes an active club to keep things going I guess.
