Whittlesey Rifle ClubWhether it is air rifle or pistols, springers or PCPs we shoot it all!
If this sounds like something you want to try, please drop us a message and we can arrange for you to come down to the the club! No experience or equipment is necessary for you to take part, we can provide everything you need!
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!

Friday night is .22RF rifle at 25 yards in the prone position night.
If you fancy trying this skill, then please come down to the range!
The Trophy cabinet is now back on the wall in the Club Room, and the remaining trophies are also back on the shelf.
We are currently thinking about adding new competitions for our members to compete in, so that we can get names on trophies again. If you’ve got any ideas, then let your captain or committee member know.
We have now replaced the old Linatex rubber with new, giving the range better protection as well as a cleaner look.
We held third and last taster session of the year with the Whittlesey Sports Association today, where a few more sharp shooters tried air rifle shooting.
Keep a look out for future events in 2023 organised by Whittlesey Sports Association and supported by Fenland Youth Radio.
Club members help a birthday party at the range.
Look at the smiles on the faces of some of the participants!
We’ve now got some new swanky signage on the door and walls. Doesn’t it look smart?!
Today we hosted a Whittlesey Sports Association taster session at our range.
We will also be holding another one on Saturday 03-Dec-2022 and Saturday 17-Dec-2022.

The range will reopen tonight! Thankfully the paint has finally dried. Thanks to all involved in this hard work, it looks spectacular!
