    In light of this, what girth do you prefer for your indoor shooting ranges?

    (ooh, beat me to it Dan)
    Its also about the 'quality' of members. I regularly pass a 50m plus firearms approved range to go to my far more friendly own airgun specific club (40m) with 7 firing points or Rochdale A.G.C. (50m) the later having approx 20 firing points. Its all about the fun you have while you are there. No equipment snobbery - just a damned good laugh.

    It's all about the quality of the pish taking! I can stay at home & have the pish took, but it's higher quality at the club, to the shooting😉

    ok, I admit it, I've got a problem.

    I voted 30yrds but that should say 30yrds + but Personally I'd be happy shooting any range. there is a range for everything.. so if it's too easy try standing one handed

    I think you have asked the wrong question. I would say what is the shortest indoor range you would be happy with. a lot of air weapon target shooting is done at 10m but what I want is a 100m full power rifle rated range than I can shoot anything at any distance I desire. What I will settle for is 20m minimum.
    I think a lot of the indoor 100m ranges were in disused train tunnels but mushroom growers are willing to pay more than a range can afford so they became mushroom farms
