Can I use a .22 spinner?
Yes, only commercially manufactured spinner target for .22 only. Targets must be placed in front of a berm so the projectile impacts into the berm. If using the spinner targets on the Pistol Range, they must also be placed in front of a berm; or more than 25m down the range, which is the half point down range. Do not place them on top of the berm.

Yes it is as long as your Muzzle is controlled and all shots impact the berm behind the Target you are engaging. If your Muzzle lifts off the bench or goes sideways you are not controlling the muzzle and an RSO will stop you.
What is the Maximum Number of Rounds I can use in my Center Fire and .22 Rifle?
