300-400 yards from the butts

Image: © Richard Law Taken: 31 Oct 2010

Looking down the old Wrekin rifle range (away from the butts) towards the 400 yard line, and the old storage building. Once upon a time, there were further lines in the field across the road, so that shooting could take place at a distance of anything up to 700, maybe 800 yards. These have now been removed and all trace has been ploughed out.
