Where can I shoot my carbine?

Carbines can be shot from fixed firing line ranges as follows:

• Range 1    From the bench or yellow firing line, Indoor at 20 yards. [PISTOL CALIBRE CARBINES ONLY]

• Range 4: From bench, sitting or prone only

• Range 5A From the bench, sitting standing

• Range 5B From the bench, sitting or standing [PISTOL CALIBRE CARBINES ONLY]

• Range 6 From the bench or yellow firing line, sitting, standing or prone

• Action ranges, except 9 and 12, with club approved action range RO

Where can I sight in my carbine?

To avoid errant shots hitting the ground, or missing the backstop on Range 4, when sighting in a rifle, scope or optic, the club suggests the following procedure:

Set up on Range 5A bench
set target at 25 yards
Take a few shots to get on target
The distance to the backstop is closer and in effect higher. More likely to contain an errant shot
Once on target, move to Range 4
