Welcome
Full bore target shooting in North Yorkshire established 1946, Pickering Rifle & Pistol club is a well established club originally formed from the area Home Guard local to Pickering. We shoot over a range which has been in use since the latter part of the 19th century & was probably established in order to serve the needs of the Volunteer Rifle Movement of the late Victorian era. The range lies within the Pickering estate of the Duchy of Lancaster in a secluded & picturesque wooded valley. 100, 200 & 300 yard distances are shot over from gravel firing points. Disabled access is available.
This is a no frills, friendly club run by it’s members, for it’s members. We offer a comfortable atmosphere amongst like minded individuals doing what we’re passionate about: shooting!
Credentials
The Club is Home Office Approved & is affiliated to the National Rifle Association (NRA). We operate in accordance with the rules of the NRA & are licensed by the MOD to shoot on military ranges. Members take part in county & national competitions on a regular basis. The Club fully complies with current firearms legislation & carries comprehensive insurance applicable to all members. Safety is paramount & the club prides itself in operating to best practice.
