MOVING TARGET RANGE (MTR)

This range has no clearly visible firing points, but firing probably takes place from distances of 50m-100m. There are 6 lanes, each with a possible marker or target shelter, and a target/power shed at the north end. As well as providing moving target training for rifle calibre weapons, the range is possibly also used for anti-tank training with sub-calibre training ammunition. The centreline of the range extends from about NO 53762 31269 to NO 53964 31320.
