Thank you for taking the time to comment.
Is there a reason you only decided to comment now and not sooner?.
The reason I regarded the matter as closed is to stop those who are commenting negatively towards the OP.
She highlighted an issue which actually is not one in my opinion. We have been shooting safely for many years and the villagers know us. I have, as you put it. Repeatedly stated the person was new to the area, this can give people a lot of information before even explaining anything. It’s not to be negative to the person but it’s a fact and thus I have stated it several times.
People using a PRIVATE field which is signposted and we allow them to use it when we are not using it.
One days when we shoot, cordons are in place, additional signage and with multiple archers and a field captain controlling the range. I would suggest you seek the Rules of Shooting which would give you further information on our procedures.
When people use or make alternative entrances this is not something we can control unless we put a big fence around. Even then part of our fences have been destroyed and replaced at our own cost. Like I said on days of shooting other things are in place.
Also the OP clearly knew there was a club there. She blacked out the club name. If she googled the map, she seen the club and clicking on the club provided her more details on who we are, what we do and when we shoot.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion but with the facts one side will triumph (usually).
I thanked the OP for highlighting the issue and there certainly is no apology needed. Perhaps the OP could have explained why she blacked out the club (apart from the highlighting the location for privacy reasons).
Lastly feel free to come join us when we are back outdoors for our Spring/Summer Season.
