AM I EXCITED OR WHAT!

Post by DuncaninFrance » Mon Nov 03, 2008 12:53 pm

Just got a call from a pal who said that a new club was starting up based on a Military Camp! We are going to meet some of the founding members on Friday 14th and it is looking good.

100mtrs - 1000mts available. Shoot every Sunday morning. 28€ a year ( That's about £22! )

The camp is called 'Camp de Souge', due west of Bordeaux.

Can't wait!! Will report in detail later but looks good from here :razz: :razz: :razz: :razz: :razz: :razz:

Excellent news Duncan.

Especially the fact that it goes to 1000m.

Our range apparently re-opens on the 9th :bigsmile: but is now only 100m :evil:

Well, back from Bordeaux and now a member of ‘Club Sportif et Artistique Camp de Souge’.

Cost of membership – 27€ / £23 / $34 a year. This gives shooting distances of 200,300,400,600 mtrs and out of the hunting season 1000mtrs (I think)

No pics at present as I thought it would be inappropriate to jump out of the car and start snapping pics on a military range but the 400mtr range has about 15 lanes. No ‘fall when hit’ stuff but It’s a nice looking range laid out East/West so should be good light all day.

Will have to sit tight now and wait for the paperwork to arrive but this now gives me 3 ranges to use, 2 in Bordeaux and one here in Blaye.

Gets better and better!!
