Target shooting is an internationally-recognised sport which features in both the Commonwealth and Olympic Games. This is the most popular form of the sport where, as its name suggests, participants shoot at static targets in order to score points. The size of target used, and the distance over which they are shot at, varies. A round consists of firing normally ten shots. This is the number of shots that each shooter fires prior to the scores being recorded and the target collected.
In order to achieve consistent scores, the shooter aims to ensure that they are consistent in what they do for every shot. This includes adopting the exact same position, aiming at the same spot and so on. Many shooters only ever compete against themselves, aiming to better their own personal best scores. Others will enter competitions and tournaments at local club level, county level or even national level.
Although the target holders are already in place, the main hall will need to be setup, by the Range Officer:
- All furniture removed between the firing line and targets (flag-pole and flag, tables).
- The ballistic curtains above the targets drawn closed.
- Tables set out along the firing line.
- Firing line and firing area demarcated using the provided self-standing tape barriers.
- Red flag hung outside the main activity hall doors.
- for 10yd and 10m range, the main activity hall doors must be bartered off in the reception hall area to prevent access to the hall. Â access to hall is then through the small hall which also acts as the waiting area.
It is the responsibility of the Range Officer to ensure the range is run  in compliance with NSRA safety rules and Mersey Weaver Range Operating Procedures.
Afterwards, the main hall must be swept clean, rubbish removed and room reinstated for normal use, which includes emptying the pellet catchers and clearing the room of any pellets.
- All rubbish and waste lead pellets must be taken away with the hirer as the building does not a rubbish collection service.
User provides their own paper targets and pellets. Access to the range starts at your chosen start time and you must have cleared up and left the range by the end of your chosen end time. Therefore allow for setup and clear up time when choosing your booking start and end time.
