Para 1.20 | air rifles and pistols. The completion ofthe new air gun range, part funded by the National Lottery through Sport England, has now provided ample space for expansion. In developing this new facility, particular attention has been given to the aids and equipment likely to be required by disabled shooters, both in terms of shooting space and off-range facilities such as toilets. |
||||
| The new range was also designed with the |
||||||
| requirements ofour aspiring county and |
||||||
| international shooters in mind, though their |
||||||
| training has been severely disrupted by the |
||||||
| enforced curtailment of shooting activities due |
||||||
| to the Covid-19 pandemic. | ||||||
| The enforced closure ofthe Club for much | of | |||||
