Activities at Grange Rifle and Pistol Club

Air Rifle & Pistol Section

The air section is all about precision shooting. Predominantly pistol shooters currently, we shoot mostly at targets 10m away, a single shot at a time.

The second range can be used for air rifle shooters, and 25m precision and rapid fire target pistol shooting, known as sports pistol. This tends to be shot with a 5-shot air pistol, as the rapid phase involves electronically timed turning targets, but a single shot one could also be used.

All section members currently compete in the Cheshire & North Wales postal leagues, which operate twice annually for both pistol and rifle. These are shot on Sunday evenings during the usual session, and involve a series of 7 rounds of 20 shots each.

Some members also compete at regional, national and international competitions.

Newcomers to the section will be looked after by one of the section members, who can give informal coaching. The club has an air pistol available for beginners, with both left and right handed grips.
