How do you go about creating a 10m Air Weapons Range on a limited budget and with no technical knowledge or specialist tools and with limited time available? This was the challenge faced in setting up temporary range facilities and introducing the sport of 10m Target Air Weapons to a rural community.

The guide has been produced with independent peer to peer review to ensure it is produced in an easy to understand format with practical application. Here is what people are saying about the guide;

'An excellent guide that will give you everything you need to construct your own automatic target changing system at your local club or at home.
Includes step by step directions, parts lists, schematic drawings and circuit diagrams as well as form templates and parts suppliers.
An excellent alternative to purchasing costly equipment and also very satisfying to build'

M Walters

‘It’s an excellent documented guide for anyone as an individual or club seeking to setup and build their own 10 metre range. You have set out all of the steps required in an easy to read and understand format taking the reader through all of the stages which will result in an excellent range setup at much lower cost than purchasing commercial items…..Providing information about each of the components, their specification and from where they may be found is also an added bonus as that in itself can take quite a bit of time working out and sourcing. All in all you have written a very useful document which provides enough in depth information for readers to successfully build a range, but not so much that the reader may feel the need to skip sections because they are of no interest.’
B Melvin

‘I must congratulate you on producing such a great publication that is clear and easy to understand.’
