Situated
near the village of St John's, where the Isle of Man's ancient
parliament, Tynwald, meets annually in open air assembly on the Island's
National Day, 5th July, the Sinclair Range is one of Britain's top ISSF
standard facilities.
With a comfortable
clubhouse, catering and plenty of parking space, together with full
accessibility and facilities for wheelchair bound visitors, the
reputation of Sinclair in the shooting world is building apace.
The Range has a roomy,
8 metres deep firing area, covered and fully enclosed. Each of its
32 shooting lanes, all at 50 metres, are equipped with Gehmann target
systems. Firing points are 1.5 metres wide, with target control boxes and, for open meetings,
Club- supplied shooting
mats.
3P shooters have
individual tables and tables are also provided at the rear of the firing
points for preparation and/or spotting and register keeping.
Nestling under the
slopes of Slieu Whallian, the Witches' Hill, The Sinclair Range is
joined by a short riverside walk to a pleasant woodland area with paths
and seats, the perfect setting for a relaxing stroll before competition.
The country shopping
centre of Tynwald Mills is just a 5 minute drive away, as is the
Island's national arboretum. Within a 10 minute drive is the
westcoast city of Peel, with its castle, ruined cathedral and award
winning heritage centre, the House of Manannan.
