A Railway Tunnel Turned Shooting Range
The Facility sits inside a railway tunnel once used during the height of coal mining in Wales, where Barry Island Port served as the main route for the precious commodity. Over the years, the railway traffic was reduced to only passenger use, and heavy industry at the port was re-invented as a residential housing. Crownhouse Armoury has since converted the tunnel into a shooting range. A film crew captured the last train ride through the tunnel, which you can watch in this historical footage of The Tunnel.
Clubhouse and Servicing Facilities
Near the tunnel entrance, the shop and member’s lounge sit apart from the firing range. This area lets members prepare for their shooting and catch up with friends. Knowledgeable members are often on hand to share their perspective on the sport, while you ready your firearm for the range. A firearm servicing station also stands by for cleaning and maintenance.
The 200m Indoor Range
The range spans 200meters straight, level and without wind. It is rated up to .50cal. Target stations at 25m, 50m, 100m 150m and 200m give you the various challenges on hitting the target. Making this the only .50cal 200m indoor range in the UK. Flood lights shine on the target areas, so you can clearly see what you’re aiming at through your optics. With no elevation changes, no windage, and a straight shot to the target, the range is excellent for zeroing your optics. Our safe, controlled environment, paired with the ability to shoot several times a week, helps you practice and build your skill.
