Mattersey is a range just off the A1 near Retford
located in a massive former Sandstone quarry. The size
of the place is quite stunning, and they have at least
six ranges. They run a number of open shoots every year,
at least two of which are of interest to muzzle loaders.
Entry fees are cheap, tea and coffee are FREE, and it's
friendly. The first shoot is the Mattersey 10 which
includes rimfire and lever action matches as well as
muzzle loading matches. The second shoot is the
"Blackpowder Open" which is generally about ten muzzle
loading matches, with some 50yd rifle matches thrown in
for good measure. This years match was cancelled due to
lack of interest, so please support it in future. The
match secretary doesn't have a PO Box number or an
e-mail address, so if you want details of forthcoming
shoots, contact me and I'll forward an entry form.
