Stickledown

Type: Gallery Range

Danger area: Full Danger Area (FDA)

Distance: 800 – 1200yds

Targets:

• 50 lanes at 800 – 1100yds
• 25 lanes (21-33 and 39-50) at 1200yds
• Buffalo target (lane 51)
• Butt Zero range is located on the LHS of Stickledown
• 11 Intarso Electronic Targets
  • Lanes 21-26 usually at 900x
  • Lanes 46-50 usually at 1000x
  • Target 50 is fitted with a shot detection system and in the unlikely case of a miss will identify the fall of shot (please note the shot detection system will not detect sub sonic projectiles)

The electronic targets offer the distinct advantage of immediate feedback without the added cost of a marker.

Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee markers or the quality of the marking; the Intarso electronic system is the solution.  It will offer a quick and reliable reading of fall of shot on the target through a closed (box type) shot detection system.

Additional notes:

• There is no firing facility forward of the 800yd firing point.
• There is a road which cuts between firing points 30 and 31 for access in to BSG
