With a more structured range it may lead to better utilization of ranges for better practice to be more realistic to hunting and at the same time make it more enjoyable for everyone.

I would venture to suggest most good shooters are that regardless of the wheres and hows. Not to mention I have seen people who turn up at a range and struggle to hit the side of a bus yet they are some of the most successful hunters I know and get deer almost every time out.

This will mean all ranges will be hit with the same hammer including "your mates stag doo shooting targets in the back paddock. Total bollocks
