Melville Work

The work on Melville Range will affect the way all people use it and also how its used for national competitions. A few comments have been received but if anyone else has thoughts on how this will impact the Bisley GRAWS, Phoenix meeting, Historics and IHAM etc send them over.

The work is taking place to reduce the risk of ricochets and allow the continued concurrent use of Melville and Butt Zero / right hand side of Stickledown at 900yds. The work being shown here is the removal of the 25m target line and its conversion into a 25m firing point. The sand and mini mantlets are being replaced with ballistic tiles at 50m.

There are some photos below taken a few days ago – about in mid January 2016.
