Run by Vlasim-based ammunition factory Sellier&Bellot (S&B, in times of socialism known as Blanicke strojirny, n.p.) serves for test shootings with the S&B products. Nowadays rarely, but in 70-ties and 80-ties there was machine-gun salvos cannonade audible everyday comming out of there, as S&B was main supplier for world theatres those days. Surprisingly, there was never permanent off-limits area erected around the range (apart from times when shootings were really under go), so it was accessible for general public even in communists era.
