McQueen Targets

McQueen targets are available for hire on Century 2/300yrds..

The premise of McQueen Castle shooting is based around a silhouette cut-out castle, of which contains windows where the targets are exposed in for a short period of time. The target is randomly shown in these windows, and so it is down to the shooter to react in a short space of time.

McQueen's is popular as it brings a difference to static style shooting. As well as booking a McQueen target under a club or as an individual, you can book onto our McQueen member days, for an opportunity to try McQueen style shooting under supervision of an experienced NRA Range Officer (please see our Member Day section for more details).
