Karni Singh membership can be taken @100 bucks a month + taxes for renowned shots and @500/- a month for the lesser mortals. The forms can be downloaded from the SAI website and submitted with 3 PP sized photos and the dough....It takes about 2 days for the membership card to come into your hands....

The membership will provide you only with entry into the range. Rest is ALL YOURS !

They do have some guns for which you have to apply for permission first and can be given only if you have a valid arms license for that particular type of weapon. I have yet to see any one being issued a gun from them now, although I've taken guns from them in the past before the CWGs. There was a hire charge to be paid, which was pretty reasonable...

They do not give ammo of any type....

They are open 10 to 5 and closed on Sundays.

Thanks so much for all the useful info man. Damn I thought they would open earlier so I could squeeze in some time before office. The timings and the days seem to suit only full time shooters, students or unemployed lol. Though the membership is quite a steal @ only 500 bucks. But the SAI download mentions a 'Trap & Skeet Ranges' from 8-12 am. Is that any good? Im a novice with a National air rifle 0.22 caliber. Would that work for this Trap and skeet Range?

This forum is a god send. The Karni Range numbers arent reachable. Thank yet again.

Would be the first time anyone shot skeet with an IHP .22, would get a wild card to the Olympics :lol: .

You never know guys, I could surprise you and would definitely credit you for helping the miracle talent from India. Would swing my air rifle and break the skeet into pieces.

What else is possible to do with my air rifle on a range, if I discover that Im not so talented?

:roll:
the skeet target is moving at speed of well 50+kmph and your airgun would fire best at the speed of 600 fps, So you do the maths your self.
I dont doubt the miracle as there is a guy who shots with compound bow. :D

But the odds are :deadhorse:
