Bisley Range Regulations Version 1.0 2019 will come into effect from 1 Apr 2019.  The main effort during the revision has been to simplify the language but there are some changes of which you must be aware.  Please ensure that you have read the full revised range regulations before you shoot at Bisley.

The major changes that have been made and some areas that require emphasis are shown below:

3. Only the Chief Executive of the National Shooting Centre may approve the consumption of alcohol or the use of S.5 Firearms on Ranges.

4. All shooters are responsible for ensuring that their firearms and ammunition are safe to use.  Shooters are to make firearms and ammunition available for inspection and testing as requested by NRA staff.

17.f. Winans

i. Bay A (No Danger Area Range, up to 25 metres). Rifles and pistols (including airguns) (maximum muzzle velocity of 655 m/s (2150 ft/s), maximum muzzle energy of 2030J (1496 ft lb)). Shotguns up to and including 12 bore.

21. Only NRA members, previously agreed commercial customers and members of organisations affiliated to the NRA may use the NSC Ranges (other than the Clay Target Ranges). Affiliated Members may also use the Zero Range on the day of, and the day preceding, an authorised range booking on Stickledown, Century or Short Siberia Ranges made by their parent organisation.

33. Shooters are not permitted to place equipment of any kind, including sensors and cameras, on the mantlet or targetry.

34. Indiscriminate firing is forbidden. Shooters must prioritise the requirement to hit the target over the need to meet time constraints.

39. The senior member of the Range Office staff on duty acts as CRO for the NSC.

55. No person may leave firearms or ammunition unattended. When not in use all firearms and ammunition must be secured in accordance with firearms legislation. Responsibility for the security of firearms and ammunition rests with the owner at all times.

56. The RO is responsible for any Marker that is not provided by the NRA.

66. All persons using Shotguns and GRP Firearms and all persons on Ranges where such firearms are in use should wear eye protection. Eye protection is mandatory in the circumstances set out in the NRA Eye Protection Policy at Appendix III to the NRA Handbook.
