20 yards
30 yards
40 yards
50 yards
Further than 50 yards
We have 33 yards indoor for air sub 12 which is fine. For that fact, the majority of my sub 12 air rifles are zeroed at that distance although I have two .22 Fenmans and two older BSA springers zeroed at 25.
50 would be ideal.
“An airgun or two”………
My local has a 10 yard and a 20 yard range. I tend to use it for pistols, and for open sighted vintage springers; perfect ranges for those.
It also cleared for FAC
Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
Longer ranges would only encourage a wounding shot if being used for practicing at vermin.
If it's only paper and tin chicken use then 100 is lots of fun.
We have an indoor 25yd and an outdoor 50 and 100 ranges also a tunnel range at 100 yd for higher velocities,
Spoilt really and it's open 24/7 365 days.
Leek shooting centre.😜
I'd be happy with anything from 35 to 55 yards.
I'm lucky though I have 100yards indoors at work
Voted for 30 yards, but the ideal one for me would be 50 to really separate the boys from the girls when pellet testing.
Although 75 yards would be absolute bliss indoors for nailing the (vertical) aimpoints for the Quigley Hollow Bucket!

45 - 50 yds so that I could practice at all HFT ranges.
WANTED: Next weeks winning lottery numbers :-)
Bolton Gun Club situated in a Mill in Leigh have a 55 yard Range which is inprocess of having an area sectioned off and cleared for .22 Rimfire.
It has Archery and Pistol Shooting Ranges and although it is allegedly not as refined as a near Range it is much better fun, with no one shouting and barking at you on a regular basis, and pecking orders are greatly fround upon.
A good Range and a reccomended place to go.
I voted for 50, mainly because I shoot at a FT club, and finding a pellet that groups well at 50 - 55 yards is a time consuming and frustrating thing, as getting a day up the club without any wind is rare, and my home range is a maximum of 35 yards
I have a 9 yard indoor range at home (commonly called a hallway and kitchen) which is great for practicing unsupported shots and refining technique but the 55 yards indoor range at Bolton Shooting Club is everything you need for setting up any sub 12 fpe air rifle and extreme pellet testing. Just going along for general target practice can be very challenging and tiring at the longer ranges because you can't blame the wind here, the paper target doesn't lie and all your shooting air is free, this long indoor shooting range really punishes poor equipment and technique.
If it is to cater for the "average" sub twelve airgunner, 55 yards is probably best so that the FT shooters can practice ranging up to their full distance. Leigh indoor range is ideal within my area as you are much less likely to have to put up with a certain Mr Jones.

The "kettle" was actually an Apel mount cleverly disguised in a kettle box. When given the present from son James on Christmas day, it was one of those "what the ---- did you buy me a new kettle for" as I attempted to continue smiling. A typical Jones ruse that worked perfectly on me as normal. The swine.
