Formed in 1907 Yalding Rifle & Pistol Club is a Home Office approved small bore target shooting club (CFP11 17412123/152) and our national governing body is the National Smallbore Rifle Association (NSRA).
Target shooting is a great hobby, but we pride ourselves on our firearms training and instruction for good practice and safety, that we believe is paramount.
Yalding Rifle & Pistol Club is committed to the highest safety standards and adheres to the latest NSRA training and best practice.
