The three lane range beneath the building and extends for 100 metres. One lane is dedicated to proof and testing, the other two are set up to provide prone, standing or bench rest shooting positions. Targets are at 60 yards and 100 metres. There are cameras set up to record bullet strike with a monitor at the shooting point. The range firing point is heated and fully vented. The backstop is designed to take calibres up to 20 mm so weapons from .22 to .700 can be tested and zeroed.

A range officer is on hand at all times and the firing area is monitored by close circuit camera for safety purposes.

Within the premises there is a large armoury, and a storage scheme is available for those who would like to deposit weapons on a temporary or more permanent basis. There is a special scheme for providing the shooting public with holiday storage.

Kynoch ammunition is manufactured and held on the premises and customers can check their rifle’s zeroing with new ammunition and select batches, which shoot particularly well and have a quantity stored for them to draw on in the future. Other brands of common ammunition are held as part of our service to the shooting public.

These facilities enable Kynamco to undertake velocity and pressure testing on a commercial basis in addition to other ballistic work. This facility is proving to be particularly useful to police forces, military and other specialist manufacturers as well as the private handloader. The facility also enables the production of runs of specialist ammunition for other manufacturers and private individuals.

The premises are situated within a mile of the A11 dual-carriageway and stand in 16 acres of grassland. These pleasant surroundings add to the pleasure of visiting our site.
