About the Range 

At 71ft 7 in, the Zero Range has been designed as a tool for shooters to confirm accuracy using specifically designed zero cards for simulated distances. The Range is attached to Winans, and technically fits in to a category of 'Winans C'. The Zero Range offers 4 covered firing points; one benched and three prone. 

The zero range is not pre-bookable; members attend the Range Office and pay for a 20 minute session (per rifle), and are provided with a specialised zeroing target.
