Belmont Range

[Robin]

Hey all,

Belmont range, Might be a silly question to some, however as I have only shot from the bench and would like to do more , like shooting standing and/or in different positions like prone and kneeling, is this something that is allowed in the standing section of the range, my reasons are so I can simulate as if I'm in the field and wont have the benefit of having a bench with me.

I would make direct contact with them and ask. Also make a note of who you spoke to, at what time etc. Nothing untoward, but just in case the wrong info is given out.
Others on this forum who regularly shoot there, may have some info as to what you want.

The Belmont shooting complex has multiple clubs and ranges but it seems clear that you are referring to the SSAA range.

In short, yes you can stand to shoot in the standing post area, you can use the post for additional support or stand free of it, you can also lie down prone or put one of the mobile benches there and shoot from that. Despite being longer targets can only go out to about 200m for normal shooting, some competitions can use the full range length of about 500m

maybe you should drive out to ripley for the feild rifle comp . it's pretty casual . i've been doing it for a couple of years now and it involves all the shooting positions you stated . third saturday every month, centrefire 12-2 , rimfire from 2-4

Sounds like something I would be interested in, what do I need to do to do this.

Belmont SSAA have rifle competitions too, maybe you could try both clubs and report back.
Personally I haven't tried the rifle comps at either but the Belmont ones are described in the link below and booked online, unfortunately, if you do book in they will publish your name for the world to see.
