Who are we and what do we do ?
Sounds obvious, but we are a gun club or shooting club that shoots every Sunday of the year on an outdoor range over 110 yards or 100 metres.
We have a covered firing point and a "block house" with wood burner to keep us warm on the days when it's not so nice !!!
We are a fully certified and insured club with a friendly outlook whilst enjoying healthy competition among members.
We are NRA affiliated and members enjoy the benefits of this when furthering their shooting activity.
We currently have around 60 members.

What do we shoot ?
We shoot muzzle loading handguns and long arms, small and full bore rifles.
Whilst we are not really a shotgun club, those that have them can shoot clay pigeon from an electric trap on a lot of the last Sundays in a month - see calendar.
The planned event / activity is usually shot in the morning and then it is generally a "free" afternoon session.

What can we offer you ?
A friendly welcome, a huge amount knowledge from many experienced members, several who have competed and won Bisley competitions.
Whilst we can't alter the weather on an outdoor range, we try to make it enjoyable for all.

Where are we ?
We are about 1/2 mile to the east of Parracombe which is 16 miles from Barnstaple.
It is a secluded former stone quarry. We don't advertise our position and after contact with the club Secretary and the police checks - not our rules but now national police policy - you'll be given directions.
Sorry if it sounds a bit cloak and dagger but this is the way of life now. It doesn't reflect on our club atmosphere.
