Indoor Ranges
10-metre range
The 10 metre range is suitable for all indoor air rifle, air pistol and running target air events for the experienced and the novice. Olympic-quality equipment was provided by Suis Ascor with Australian Annmarie Forder winning bronze at the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games in the 10-metre air pistol event.
Electronic targetry records the penetration of the competitor’s shot by means of a microphone placed in each corner of the target frame. The competitor’s field of play boasts an individual monitor screen for each stand relaying to a bank of ten printing machines and a range office, where scoring on each target can be electronically collated and printed. At the end of each shooting sequence, a hard copy of scores is handed to the competitor for authorisation. This eliminates score discrepancies and minimises paper wastage. There are 60 individual stands available for competition. An electronic scoreboard above each shooter allows spectators to check the competition in progress.
There is ample space to accommodate all athletes along with carers of those with special needs. The 10-metre range’s spectator gallery provides 500 seats, and there is plenty of standing room at the top of the tiered gallery. Hearing loops are provided for those with hearing impairments. Adjoining this range are male/female and accessible amenities and baby change facilities.
25-metre range
The 25-metre range is suitable for all rimfire precision sport and rapid-fire pistol shooting. Suis Ascor provided the Olympic-quality equipment, with Australian Peter Tait winning silver in the mixed P3 25-metre sports pistol event during the Sydney 2000 Paralympic Games.
The range is divided into four individual bays of 10 competition stands and one functional testing bay, currently being modified for centrefire pistol. Electronic targetry records the penetration of the competitor’s shot by means of a microphone placed in each corner of the target frame. The competitor’s field of play boasts an individual monitor screen for each stand relaying back to ten printing machines and a range office, where all scoring on each target can be collated and printed. At the end of each shooting sequence a hard copy of scores is handed to the competitor for authorisation. This eliminates score discrepancies and minimises paper wastage.

Finals Range
The finals range is unique in the history of sports shooting because it is the first all-in-one range in the world. While skeptics said it couldn’t be done, Australian architects Gazzard Sheldon Architects designed the range to incorporate 10-metre, 25-metre and 50-metre competition shooting sports.
During all major competitions including Oceania ’99, the World Cup and the Olympic and Paralympic Games, gold-medal events such as rifle, air rifle, pistol and running target events were held on this range. Award ceremonies have accompanied these events, and in the case of the Sydney 2000 Olympics, the finals range became centre-stage to the world.
As with the other ranges, electronic targetry records the penetration of the competitor’s shot by means of a microphone placed in each corner of the target frame. The competitor’s field of play boasts an individual monitor screen for each stand relaying back to a bank of ten printing machines and a range office, where all scoring on each target can be collated and printed.
