25 Metre Air Rifle Benchrest Range
Dedicated benchrest shooting, focused on precision, consistency and improving your accuracy.
Our 25 Metre Air Rifle Benchrest Range has seven individual shooting lanes, with fixed shooting benches for stability and comfortable padded seating to help you settle in.
Whether you are getting started with benchrest or working towards tighter groups, shooting at a fixed distance allows you to concentrate on your technique and monitor your progress. Please note there are no plinking targets on this range, only target stands to put paper targets on.
The range is also floodlit and open late on Wednesdays, giving you more time to enjoy your shooting after work.
