Our club is in the process of building a new rifle range. Although we will only have 400 yard capabilities we do have some competition involving prone shooting. We are considering putting a gravel drive in front of the firing line to facilitate loading/unloading. We need to know what is the most common surface used in prone shooting. While it would seem that grass/turf is most desirable we also understand that most use some type of mat. If we use fine gravel and limestone dust for our drive will that be a problem for most prone shooters. What is typical for most ranges?
The topic of the drive for loading/unloading is not a part of this discussion. WE are aware of both the upside and downside of that part of the plan. We just want to accommodate prone shooters as much as practical.
