Harlow Town Rifle & Pistol Club

We specialise in the dynamic, exciting sport of practical shooting with over 100 members.  Our emphasis is very much on practical shooting with shotgun, mini rifle and long barrelled pistol.  We are Home Office approved and affiliated to the UKPSA. 

We are open for new members!  Membership costs just £50 (2025 rate) with no range fees - probably the best value gun club in the country!  There is a £50 (2025 rate) joining fee.

Our members include current and former champions at both national and international levels, as such, we focus on the competative aspects of the sport.  The shooting action balances speed and accuracy whilst maintaining safety and to this end, each shooter (even the champion!) is supervised on a one to one basis by a range officer. 

We operate from three locations: Kingsclere Quarry where we shoot shotgun, mini rifle and long barrelled pistol; Cambridge Gun Club where we shoot shotgun, mini rifle, long barrelled pistol and full bore handguns; and we also shoot shotgun alongside the Romsey club at their woodland location near Basingstoke.

The club formed in 1975 initially, as an air gun section. As membership grew, a small bore section was started using the Key Glass rifle range. This progressed to Full Bore Shooting and then developed into shotgun shooting following the handgun ban and we have recently become more active with mini rifle and long barrelled pistols.

The following video shot and edited by French competitor (and now club member) François-Xavier Dyba shows Lewis Trail competing in the Standard Manual (pump action) division and gives a good overview of the sport:
