Keep your shots on the backstop

Berm

Shooting at the same distance from the target

BackStop

Target

Standing

Kneeling

Prone

I f you shoot at the same distance from the target. Staying on the center of the target while changing shooting positions requires lowering the target as you lower your position. Shooting from the prone position may require lower the target to keep from shooting over the backstop and maybe the berm. The other alternative would be to increase the distance between the target and the shooter.

The berm is designed, and its function is to keep all rounds with the boundaries of the range. Shot placement is never to exceed the height of the berm
