was it sennybridge?i was there in 1983 doing live firing with a Bren and my SLR (TA 2 wessex BTLN)when someone accidently discharged their weapon when unloading on the range. It prompted him getting a proper kicking from the NCO's in charge, a lesson i took to heart and was VERY careful about how I looked after my rifle!

I got my RAF marksman badge at Benson..probably 1984, on same 25 yard range. One of my mates went a bit mental with a 7.62 and autofired a line of bullets starting near the target and moving up toward the top of the range. The rock ape in charge stomped the rifle out of his hands, picked him up and threw him over the low wall to the side of the range. Class.
