Dear Fellow Air Pistol Shooters:

I would like to appeal to anyone who might have some information regarding the portable air pistol setup used in Canada i.e.; Canadian Grand Prix:

I’m a member of a club that shoots out of a former Olympic air pistol shooting hall and over the last year we have seen the number of shooting positions dwindle down to five. The owner has not been very supportive of our shooting discipline and wants to use the space for other purposes.
We fear that one day we might find all of the positions gone. So I’m writing this to see if the above range set up is portable enough and cost effective. I would very much like to communicate with anyone who has first hand knowledge of working with this setup.

In advance thank you for your replies and comments.

The pellet trap, target carrier, and hand crank assembly are available as a package from Cibles Canada Targets, I believe. (That's where I bought mine).
I had always assumed that the backstop and the shooting benches were 'home-built' as opposed to 'commercially-made'. (A similar setup is used in British Columbia at the Richmond airgun matches. Also, a similar setup was used in Alberta, for the Nationals in Edmonton.) Even if those items are home-built, I would think there should be some mechanical drawings or dimensioned sketches floating around ... somewhere.

I beleive the ones at the Nationals are the same ones, they are owned by the SFC so they sort of travel the country.

The hand cranks haven't been used for 2 years they now use an electric carrier.
