Ranges near Dublin

f100zardoz

Hi, I live in Kill Kildare currently shoot clay & .22 rifle in courtlough / Balbriggan. I've been looking for some where closer for a while. This club sounds good! Do they cater for larger caliber rifles? & what length ranges do they have? Also the important question {specially these days}. How much is annual membership? Thanks for any help shooters

That would be a great day to visit the range as there is an NASRPC National Competition on that day. There will be smallbore/centrefire pistol/gallery rifle and benchrest rifle events on that day.

Is there anymore information on this?
I looked at nasrpc.ie and can see the date is marked on the calender but, I wasnt sure if that was just what the club activities are or whether there was competitions in each category.
Is there a timetable of events? and what are the specific matches in a discipline (if thats the correct terminology), ie T+P or Multi target or something else in smallbore gallery. Are all the events competitions or is there any friendly events?

Im in a club under the nasrpc, is there a come and try element for categories under which an individual does not hold a licence or could they participate in a competition in that manner?

and what are the fees for attending?

Apologies for the amount of info requested, I just realised this is next Saturday.

Not quite sure what you mean be this statement?????

All NASRPC competitions are 'OPEN' to anyone with a current license for their firearm and current insurance.

Perhaps it's not the best place to 'TRY' a new firearm in a competition and under pressure.
But if you are indeed proficient with your firearm then by all means give it a go. The classification system means your not competing against the 'Expert' shooters, only in your own class - which you will shoot 'into' with your first comp.

BUT it's the best time to come along and see these comps. in action and get 'The Feel' for them.

Try it once and you will go back:):):)

Thats grand, I wasnt able to make it, I have a semi auto rifle but some other stuff came up which I could not avoid.
I will need to look at the calender and plan better in advance about attending.

I was in harbour house today. Great atmosphere around the place and it was good and busy. I was looking at a cz 452 silhouette I think. Nice little gun I think I might change my 452 lux. Any one else down there today.

f100zardoz

I was down there today and signed up. Agreed their is a good friendly atmosphere in Harbour house. I like it. I have a cz style and I can't fault it. Very accurate rifle. Also compared to where I normally shoot the ammo is very reasonable in H/house.

Did you join up????
It's well worth the small money for club fees for what the range has to offer

One shot on kill
