Is anyone aware of any rifle range in Australia that incorporates a dual, in line, Stop Butt system? Walt

Geelong has a fixed, covered shooting mound and a separate stop butt for each distance out to 900 yds.
There are a couple of others --North Arm I think is one, Cannon Hill at Belmont is another.

hows that work baz ?
is there any pictures that show it ?

Yeh, we shoot 600yrds on our main butts at North Arm and a hundred yrds further up the range is our 700yrd butts, shot from the same mound as we shoot 600.

Sorry for the shitty photo, but, 600 is below the first lot of numbers and 700 is above the second set. Both shot from the same mound.

Lonerider,
Go to the VRA web site and click on rifle ranges -Map -then Geelong> an excellent photo shows you how.

thanks guys,ive never seen that before...

as a bit of a side question: what ever happened to the stockton rifle range near newy ?
my dad and granddad used to shoot there...

Stockton shut down in 1997 and I beleive is now a housing development after the military sold off the land.
Well, so I've been told by family down there.

bugga,that was the first range i have memories of back in the 70's


ps: my apologies Walt.

Pinjar in WA 72 targets wide from the same shooting mound that is 300m long and able to shoot 3 x 20 target ranges at the same time from 300m out to 900m

Sad to say Cannon Hill no longer. No more Match Rifle in Brisbane.

We at Crows Nest Goombungee have a dual stop buts
