Additional Notes
Parking:–
Cars may be parked behind the 900yrds, 1000 yards or behind the 1100 yards firing point but space MUST be left to allow the free passage of Atholl Estate and/or Energency vehicles.
Practice:-
Targets will be available on Friday for an informal unsquadded practice from 12:00hrs to 16:00hrs.
Safety:-
No rifles are to be put on the firing point until the RCO gives permission.
Before any rifles can be removed from the firing point, you must remove the bolt so your firing partner can inspect your rifle before signing your score card.
Please then insert a breech flag into your chamber and keep the bolt out!
Driving to and from the range:-
Continued use of West Atholl RC’s Jubillee Range depends on the goodwill of the Atholl Estates. The club has agreed with the Estate that range users will limit themselves to 15mph on the section between the road junction below Home Farm and the range itself.
Please keep to the speed limit and help us to ensure that this presious facility continues to be available…
Thanks in advance,
The G.B.F.C.A Committee
