Bisley 1987

"In 1987 a crap range officer unit was sent to the European Practical Pistol Championships by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Moorsholm underground. Today, still wanted by the government, some survive as committee members. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the Range Masters."
