    I don't know of any indoor ranges that long.
    Atherton goes up to 75 yards but I thought that was the longest

    I'd be happy with 50 but, I'd like more.

    All of the above.

    Fifty is fine for me. You're just greedy.

    Length isn't everything; you can have a lot of fun at 20 yards. We have about ten members actively shooting LSR at 20 yards and a dozen or so shooting bench rest to NSRA spec and to Midlands Region spec, on their own cards. Four lanes side by side.

    If we had 25 metres then I think we'd use that for prone shooting, which is a discipline we don't do at the moment.

    We've also got access to a smaller range only 15 yards and room for two at a time, which would be fine for 10m (but no interest) and 10m pistol (very little interest).

    To make it anything but a fun passing the time thing, it has to be a minimum of 30yds, preferrably 35yds.
    At that range it starts to be meaningful. However for a bit of fun, anything up to 35 even lower.
    Competition wise, 50yds, although very few are out there indoors, most are out side. eg Emmett and Stone.

    needs girth too
    10 people shooting 30 yards is probably better than 2 people shooting 60 yards

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

    (ooh, beat me to it Dan)
    Good deals with these members

    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.

    it can be 5-10 yards. a pellet trajectory site will show how a pellet travels and its curvature. (i.e. more than one impact point)
    rimfire .22 i preferred 25 yards.
    the only thing i can find wrong is the nut on the steering wheel.
