Advice needed

[RooDan 0]

Hi all,

I'm completely new to rifles and just bought my first air gun (thanks to a seller on this forum). Now I'm struggling to find somewhere to go shoot it. I'm in Northampton and am hoping to find a range or something that I can try out for an afternoon before submitting to a membership. Any suggestions?

Also any advice or do's & don'ts for a complete novice?

Finally want to give my gun a good clean through, should I use any special cleaners or just a damp cloth and bit of oil for the barrel??

 

All advice appreciated

 

Thanks
