We are also registered for Fullbore shooting at Ottmoor and Bisley as Affiliated members of the Oxford Rifle Association (ORA) http://oxonra.org

The Club has its own range, which was completely modernised and soundproofed in 1987, and has been further upgraded on several occasions since. This is situated in Springfield Road, opposite the school.

The Club provides a variety of 0.22 rifles, match quality air rifles and air pistols for Members' use. We also have Qualified shooting Coaches, including County & National Coaches, for both Rifle and Pistol.

The indoor range has 5, 20 yard shooting lanes, certified for 0.22 rifles in 3 positions, standing, kneeling and prone and centre fire, pistol-calibre rifles, standing position only. It is equipped with turning targets at 20 yards and with target changers for 10 metre airgun shooting. We have also much improved lighting systems for both the 20yd targets and the 10 metre targets together with improved lighting over the firing points.

Shooters with physical disabilities are welcome.There is a ramp, giving wheelchair access and full disabled toilet facilities. Assistance with rifle support is also available.

Range Closure

Regretably the Wantage Target Shooting Club is closed until further notice in accordance with Government instructions

Keep your eyes on the website and we will update the information as soon as we have any further information,

Covid 19 update.

I am sure we are all eager and ready to get going with the sport we all love..and hate ...depending on scores! However the latest guidelines preclude us opening at this stage.

Our Insurers, Bluefin and the NSRA have issued a set of guidelines before indoor ranges can re-open.The full details are here:-https://www.nsra.co.uk/index.php/news/233-administration/2943-get-ready-to-open-revised-nsra-guidance-notes-16-july-2020

Accordingly the committee have agreed to get the range deep cleaned by contractors and a new ventilation system installed. We are currently awaitining estimates for these works to be carried out.

UPDATE.

Estimates have been obtained and agreed. Work starts on the ventilation system week beginning 28th September with the deep clean and de-lead a few days afterwards. We will hope to re-open with some restrictions shortly afterwards. What this entails we will be discussing in committee shortly.

N.B. Existing members whose expiry date is approaching we will extend existing membership for 6 months from the end of the existing financial year (31 October 2020) with next year subs for existing members being half price for the new year.

Keep Safe
