Highlights
Outing Highlights
60 numbered lanes and targets out to 500m
The facility features 60 numbered lanes designed for long-distance paper-target shooting, with established distances that extend as far as 500 metres for rifle shooters.
Customisable distances to suit your training
At booking you choose your challenge: lanes can be used at 50m (rifle & pistol) and a progression of rifle distances—100m, 150m, 200m, 300m, 385m and 500m—so you can tailor sessions to skill and goal.
Licence, protective wear and bring-your-own kit
This is a paper-target, individual lane hire model for licensed shooters: you must bring original firearm licence and permits, valid ID, enclosed footwear, no sleeveless or open-neck clothing, hearing and eye protection, and your full equipment including shooting mat, bipod and ammunition.
What the day feels like
What the session feels like
The session is focused and uncompromising: licensed shooters arrive at the complex, select a numbered lane and a distance, deploy their kit and run precision paper-target strings at distances calibrated for long-range work. The environment is engineered for measured practice — not casual plinking — so sessions tend to be concentrated on technique, sighting and repeatable shot execution.
