About the Range 

Winans is a 25yrd range consisting of three bays, Winans A, Winans B and the Zero Range. 

Bookable by the hour or full sessions, Winans A and B both feature covered firing points, and can both accommodate the use of both rifles and shotguns (please read specific permitted firearms types below). 

Winans A consists of 8 turning targets, whilst Winans B contains 6 static target lanes. Both ranges are popular with club shoots and members' practice sessions, due to its accessibility and practicality.
