Dear all,
This post may bore some of you guys but I just wanted to post these pictures as I had such a great time at this place for the second time in 8 weeks.
I was looking for a shooting club to join in Austria and I had been to one club in the west near Salzburg. Whilst it was very nice with wonderful clean facilities, both indoor and out, the mainstay of the shooting there was smallbore .22 rifle and pistol with a few people shooting wad cutters in a .38 special.
Whilst pretty, nothing too awe inspiring. No chance to shoot the 98k or anything bigger than 9mm/.38, and no jacketed rounds either.
Then my dear forum friend Ostmark told me he was going to take me to a very good little club somewhere near the mountains in the south of lower Austria, and indeed he did !
I have only pics of the bottom half of the range here but their is a club house (behind and above these firing points shown) with an indoor firing point for 100 and 200 meters that fire over the top of this little range shown here. No calibre restrictions at all on any firing point and nobody cares what you shoot as long as you are safe.
Best of all in true Austrian fashion people go and shoot a few rounds then sit outside the club house on nice days on a few well laid out tables and chairs (under a roof) and drink beer ! This is followed by more shooting, then....more....beer!
This makes this place heaven for me ! If its raining then you can go inside and sit on yet more tables (munich beer hall style) and drink yet more beer. The walls are covered in trophies and their are lots of nice things to look at...
I appreciate that in many parts of the world this would be regarded as normal but remember folks, us guys in the UK have lost most of the places we had like this after the pistol ban, and for a Brit this was a real treat. Best of all I became a member !
Just wanted to say a public thank you to Ostmark for introducing me to this place
and to share with other forum members.

P.S.My girlfriends flat is only 10 minutes away by car and I do have a guest room available but Adrian Stevenson is first in the que !
