Our aim is to promote, develop and increase the knowledge and skill of Target Shooting regardless of age, gender, experience or skill. Our club is underpinned by a strong community with a culture of safety, commitment and enjoyment.
We offer licenced shooters the use of target rifles in competition at distances from 300 to 1000 yards. The disciplines of Target Rifle, F Class and Match Rifle are all enjoyed by members.
