The Range
Minehead Target Shooting Club provides a facility for both airgun (rifle and pistol) and rimfire rifle shooters to practice and compete at multiple distances from 10 yards (.177 air pistol) to 50 metres (.22 rimfire rifle).
The Club is approved by the Home Office and undergoes regular checks by the Police to ensure compliance with regulations and health & safety requirements.
​
​Our indoor range has 5 lanes for all currently available disciplines shooting at paper targets. We have a club room for socialising between shooting, with a kitchen and WC facilities.
​​​
We participate in county, inter-county and local leagues in all disciplines both for teams and individuals and actively encourage members to compete however it is very much up to individuals’ personal choice. Some competitions are run on a handicap basis offering the chance of success to all levels of ability. Competitions are held at Club level, between local Clubs, County Clubs, and Nationally.
​
​There are very few limitations however we have a minimum starting age of 10yrs old and all junior members under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult.
We welcome all abilities irrespective of experience so don’t be afraid to give it a go! We can provide basic club level coaching for those requiring it in all disciplines.
