The majority of .22LR target rifle shooting is prone using rifles similar to the one below and the range can cater for 3 position shooting (prone, kneeling and standing).
Lightweight sporting rifle, gallery rifle and free pistol shooting is also catered for. Shorter range shooting is also possible.
A couple of our more mature members practicing - the one on the left apologises for his jacket!
On a Friday night, 7.30 to 10.00pm we shoot .177 Cal target Air Pistols (similar to the Morini example below) and Air Rifles at a distance of 10 metres.
We have six air firing points with electric target changers and have the capacity to set up the range for either static or turning targets.
A variety of club rifles is available for use and we also keep a range of jackets, slings, mats etc for use by members. Small-bore ammunition is available typically costing, for .22LR, between £2.00 to £6.50 for a box of 50 rounds. There is also a selection of pellets available at competitive prices.
We have a Clubhouse adjacent to the range with both kitchen and toilet facilities allowing the discussion of shooting performance in a degree of comfort.
The Club has full-bore rifles and from time to time takes part in open range shooting as here at Glen Tilt. Regrettably there is no current full-bore open range available in the West of Scotland and the nearest facility is in Edinburgh.
