Thanks. How do the baffles affect snow accumulation..does drifting affect winter shooting?

It does cause drifting. Its not usually an issue as one of us usually keeps a trail open ...when the snowblower is working properly. Dont get me started on that one.

Correct, it is 100 meters. I seriously need to get into the metric frame of mind.

SPFGA Exec is starting to look at various baffle systems as part of the long-term planning process. The Camrose system was mentioned. It looks like a very effective means of preventing shooters from overshooting the backstops. There is no evidence that "overshooting" is an issue at SPFGA ...but it is good to see what is out there. The SPFGA set-up is much different than Camrose in scale so I'm not sure how the Camrose system could be adapted on the 200M and 300M Ranges. I'm sure the Exec will be looking at other options as well.
