I like the way that pistol match worked. Those targets turning around are an interesting feature to what looks like a plain country range.

That is the 'old' version of electronic 'Fall when hit' / pop up' military targets. They still use them on military 25mtr pistol ranges in the UK as far as I know.
I shall be shooting my charcoal burner tomorrow at Merignac, might get some pics
