As a club we are passionate about introducing new people to shooting and we regularly run open days and guest days to introduce new people to this amazing sport.

For this reason we have taken the decision to purchase a new ‘youth’ rifle which is specifically designed to be used by younger people while shooting, it is a single shot .22LR rifle and has a shorter stock so people of all sizes can safely use it.

We are often asked, how old do people need to be to shoot, we don’t have a set age at our club, we normally suggest around 10 or 11 but we have introduced younger people in the past, the two main things we look for are:

1) How mature is the shooter?
2) Is the shooter physically able to safely control a rifle?

This rifle will allow people who are mature enough to take part in our sport but aren’t large enough or physically strong enough to use an adult sized rifle to take their first steps into shooting.

If you or someone you know is interested in trying shooting, please send us a message and we would be happy to talk to you about next steps!

We are all very thankful to those that have stood up for our Country’s freedom, and the Whittlesey Rifle Club makes no exception in our Remembrance.

We unite with our town in Remebrance and reflect on both past and current commitments, as our Fenland town becomes awash with beautiful and meaningful poppies.

We will Remember them.

Happy New Year to our current members, future members, and all your families. May 2022 see a return to even more shooting, and competition winning.

The Whittlesey Rifle Club wish you all a Merry Xmas and Happy New Year !

Stay safe and we hope to see you all in 2022!

Here’s to 2021 bringing us all better prospects.
Thank-you to all who have supported the #WhittleseyRifleClub during this difficult year.

As you have all heard, the UK lock-down will continue for at least another three weeks.

The means that the range will definitely be closed until at least the 07-May-2020.

This will be reviewed every three weeks and we will adhere to Government advice.

You have find the latest advice at https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus

The order that “no-one is to unlock or enter the range for any reason, until further notice”, still remains in place.

Please note that “Probationary Members” will not be unfairly affected by the COVID19 range closure.

Your membership timescales will be extended as not being able to attend is very different to not attending.

Please do keep an eye on our website and on social media for the latest news on when we are likely to re-open.

In the meantime, stay safe.
