About The Club


Thurnscoe rifle club is a non profit making organisation. The aim of the club is to promote all aspects of shooting sports in a safe and responsible manner. We are Home Office Approved and affiliated to the N.R.A and N.S.R.A.

 

 OUR CHAIRMAN SHOWING HOW ITS DONE

Thurnscoe Rifle Club is mainly a .22 smallbore club but is approved for all calibres of firearm as we have access to approved full bore ranges elsewhere.  Once a month we meet at a range near Bury, Lancashire which has a 100yd range and certified members can hire ranges at Bisley. Further details can be obtained from the secretary.

 

The club encourages competition shooting and operates various postal comps throughout the year, and if numbers permit, intends to take part in competitions with other clubs.

 

The club caters for various shooting disciplines including prone target, benchrest, standing precision and speed steel plates. Advice on all aspects of shooting is available and basic tuition can be given on request.

 

At present the club runs two open shoots per year for the prone target disciplines and attracts competitors from all over the UK, photos of the comps can be seen in the Gallery section of the site.
