Hi, i was wondering if you have to own your own guns before you join up and attend or can they be provided for day rent at events?
Thanks.carl.
Hi Carl, we do not 'rent' guns but if you attend one of our meetings (generally the third weekend of the month) we will educate you to our way of performing and after a short safety talk, may even get you to have a small shooting experience under strict supervision. Our next meeting is the27th-28th of April (the website is a little behind at the moment!) Make yourself known and we will see what we can do.

Hi Vinnie, first of all, the BWSS has now got a home base at North Cotes Butts, near North Thoreby, just south of Grimsby.
Firearms used are FAC lever action, pistol calibre, rifles, Black Powder revolvers and a shotgun.
No air weapons I'm afraid.
No fast draw either (unfortunately).
I will pass on your tech advise to our webmaster.
Alan Vickers of aandagunsmiths.co.uk is our main man and will be able to explain more on the firearms side.
I am the Chairman of Mansfield and District RPC and you can contact me on dbsmedley@hotmail.com, if you want more info.
Hi, Vinnie from Worksop calling...... been browsing your website and have a few comments from the viewpoint of a visitor. It would be really useful to have some information about where the club actually is located, maybe I missed it. Also some detailed info on the guns used, calibur etc. Do you do fast draw competitions? For those that don't have a certificate is there provisions to use air guns instead?
Also the website was asking for a flash plugin. Flash is dying out, by the end of the year Adobe will stop supporting it as websites are now moving to html. A lot of new visitors will not be able to view your website, I couldn't see any pictures or vids.
But I was pleased to see the membership fees were reasonable, unlike the usual ripoff fees charged by most gunclubs.

Hei
Howdy from Norway! As a UK expat I started shooting cas over here 6 years ago, I have been national champion with my trapdoor springfield in buffalo single shot, and am this years silver medalist with the muzzleloader at scandinavian championship held here in Norway. Im still waiting to break into the bigtime and win something at main match, I usualy shoot frontier cartrige .
Anyhow, few weeks back on the range I was talking with some guest shooters from USA and they asked me about how cas was in UK, to be honest i was a little embarressed to admit I did not even know if anyone still shot cas after the pistol ban. I have done a little research and it seems you shoot with perc pistols. so this will be frontiersman and classic cowboy? no wild bunch I guess?
I would love to have contact with UK cas shooters I am on the board of governers of scandinavian western shooters as governer for the east, which includes Oslo. I was leader of my cas club til recent which is schedsmoe county rough riders. check us out on facebook.
I sometimes visit the north east of England and would love to come shoot a match one day.

I recently became interested in Western Re-enactment and now Fast Draw UK all using Blanks, But sleeves with shotgun primers is cheaper; My first club membership opportunity guided me to a Civil War/Settler or Gun fighter role; (I've created both) Now that I'm getting interested in CAS, I'm faced with either buying Black Powder gear, either all in one go or perhaps in stages; The Cost? Two Pistols,Rifle and Shotgun is a big lay-out; How do people cope with this? Trevor Alias PB (Pot Belly) "Stove" Ryder.
Hi Trevor, that is the perrenial question, how to afford the equipment to start a new hobby.
First, make sure you have to FAC and SGC to obtain the firearms you need. Secondly, start with second-hand which will halve your costs. Shotguns,,,someone you know will have a cheap double barrel side by side 12gauge, I have only paid between £50-£100 for mine. Revolvers,,, look on the sales sites, can be obtained for £75+,,,,,rifles from about £300+.
Your first move should be to come along to one of our shoots, you will be made welcome and may pick up some bargains and A&A Gunsmiths are our tame RFD's and can supply anything you need and I have been known to help with leatherwork. We will be at the Shooting Show at Harrogate this weekend, come and find us.

REPEATING PISTOL Meetings at Bisley
Look at the Surrey Branch MLAGB Website for details of FOUR Open Meetings which may well improve your basic shooting skills.
