What we do is target shooting. What we shoot at are paper targets. What we shoot with are guns of all types, both rifles and pistols, airguns, cartridge guns and muzzle loading guns.
We do two main types of shooting on our indoor range:
1) Precision shooting to international standards and rules.
2) Sport-Hobby shooting (more for people who do not wish to be too serious about their sport.
All shooting is done from either, prone, standing, or kneeling positions.
Prone: means lying down on your front, supporting the upper body on the elbows and often using a sling from the front of the rifle to a cuff on the upper arm for additional support. This position is rarely used with a pistol.
Standing: means just that, you stand up without any additional support and hold the gun with either one or two hands depending on rules or preferences. This is the position used for most pistol and all airgun shooting.
Kneeling: means going down on one knee with the foot of the other leg flat on the floor and resting the elbow on the raised knee. The gun is held with either one or two hands depending on rules or preferences. This position is rarely used for indoor pistol shooting.
