Karpman 44 Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Hey, Looking for an Air rifle/Gun club In leicestershire type area. Been to Groby and they catered more for straight target shooting with rimfire/blackpowder etc. Idealy looking for a club that likes a bit of HFT and runs odd comps and such, Practice whilst decent permission trickles in and after a sample at kibworth it was dam right fun! Tall order I think, Seems easier to get into the stone masons lol any advice on that greatly appreciated too lol. Many thanks Karpman Quote Link to post
Ron Weasley 83 Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Hi Karpman, funny you should ask...I contacted UKAHFT just this afternoon to find a club local to me as I'm planning on having a crack at HFT soon. They sent me a list of all their affiliated clubs - it would appear that Kibworth is your closest. There's no website listed, but there is a mobile number. PM me if you want it and I'll pass it on.

Cheers for the heads up pal, Kibworth is a good hour each way, Which I don't mind it's just busy and rather small lol. Yeah I'm being picky Karpman Quote Link to post
Ron Weasley 83 Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Fair enough. That's the only UKAHFT affiliated club in Leicestershire though. My closest club is 82 miles away. If I knew how, I start one of my own! Quote Link to post

Seems popular, Guess legislation cost of land and dam insurance keeps these clubs to a minimum, Or just get friendly with a few guys at Kibworth and see what the crack is I spose lol.

Ron Weasley 83 Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 I would absolutely love to do that mate, but it's just such a long way - and while I'm a bit short of £££s, it's a bit hard! Thanks for the offer though, when things are back on track I'll be sure to take you up on it! Quote Link to post

mikeyblue 28 Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Hi Karpman, As mentioned Kibworth may be your closest UKAHFT club. There is Daystate Midlands HFT Series round being held there this Sunday. I will be competing so if you fancy it drop me a PM. I would imagine Anston is also one of the closest to you Jct29 M1 I think. Regards, Mikey. Quote Link to post
