Range Team: Without dedicated volunteers this and may other competitions would not be able to field the amount of competitors wanting to take part. You can help out for as little as half a day, or if you fancy it – the whole weekend! Range Crew typically take on the following roles:

  • Chief Range Officer: 1 per range, in charge of overall range safety, issues the range commands
  • Range Team: Supports the running of the range by refacing targets, clear rifles, working the control box etc.
  • Stats: Input all scorecards and produce prizelists
  • Reception: supporting front counter staff, checking in new and pre-booked entrants, issuing scorecards, providing guidance and directing competitors.
  • Event Makers: Assist the Competitions team across all ranges with jobs including providing ranges with tea and coffee, distributing Range Team meals, setting up for prizegivings, assisting with queries on the range
