Whittlesey Rifle Club

Range Requirements

There are a few simple requirements we ask in order to avoid complaint and disharmony within the club. They are as follows: -

All Sections

Empty shells/cases must be cleared from the firing point by the shooter. At the end of the session all empties to be cleared from the floors etc. before locking up. All empties to be placed in the tub provided with the exception of aluminium or steel, these to be placed in the dustbin.

Any unfired rounds required to be disposed of, to be handed to a club official for safe disposal.

A probationary member may not shoot unless supervised by a full member or by a Range Officer.

Pistol Section

A maximum of three cards (plus one sighter in the event of a three card competition) to be shot before allowing anyone who is waiting to shoot to take your place on the firing point, if nobody is waiting you may continue to shoot until someone is waiting.

Rifle Section

All newcomers will be instructed in the safe handling and working operations or the rifles, and will only shoot strips, under coaching supervision, until a standard of grouping is obtained, making it possible to shoot match and competition cards.
