About Penrhiwpal Shooting Club
Penrhiwpal Shooting Club is a Home Office approved target shooting club.
Our facilities include four outdoor ranges, one indoor range, a clubhouse, and generous car parking. The first three outdoor ranges are 25yd, 50m, and 100yd target ranges with covered firing points; the fourth is a purpose designed Practical Shotgun range. The 100yd range is certified for full bore / centre fire calibers. Indoors we have a 10m target range suitable for air pistols and low powered air rifles (under 6 ftlb), and a gun preparation room with lockers. The clubhouse provides a communal seating area, tea/coffee facilities and toilets.
Members take part in a range of activities as suits the individuals interests. This could be solitary target training, if that's your thing. But you will find that the club also hosts a variety of group based activities that bring people with a common interest together. For example, there are regular clay shoots which are popular and have a very strong social element. There are also competitions for air rifles which are popular and really good fun.
Our members include individuals with a lifetime of firearms experience, and a selfless willingness to share what they know with others. This presents an amazing opportunity to learn, and it is one of the principal benefits of club membership for anyone new to shooting. You will also discover that people interested in shooting come from all walks of life. Our members include farmers, vets, police, engineers, doctors and mechanics!
At the start of your membership journey, you will spend 6 months on probation. If you are a novice, this is much more exciting than it sounds! You will be taught the essentials of safe gun handling skills, and learn about the various types of firearms you are likely to encounter at the club. You will receive one-on-one training every step of the way, and you will be given the opportunity to use club guns on the ranges. Right from the start, you can take part in many of the club events and competitions.
We constantly seek to develop and improve the club by enhancing our facilities. Although much of this work goes on behind the scenes, we also have "Work Parties" where everyone can come along to help out. Work parties are not just about hard work, they also tend to be good fun and an opportunity to spend time with other club members doing something other than shooting!
To join us, visit the club on the last Sunday of the month between 11:00am and 2:00pm. No appointment is necessary - just turn up on the day, bringing a photo I.D. with you.
