HARPENDEN AIR WEAPONS CLUB
Harpenden, Hertfordshire, United Kingdom
Harpenden Air Weapons Club caters for precision target shooters for both 6 yard and 10 metre competition and practice. We meet every Tuesday night from 7:45 close to the centre of Harpenden, Hertfordshire UK.
Age groups and Skill Levels
Ages of members currently range from 15 to over 70. We cater for .177 calibre target shooting, both rifle and pistol. Open sights single shot only for competition (ISSF Rules). Most competitions are in the Bedfordshire Smallbore Shooting Association (BSSA) leagues, but there are other competitions available including N.S.R.A., to which we are affiliated. Members are from Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire, mostly from Luton or Harpenden.Training
We have a separate 6 yard range which can be supervised for training adults and youths from about 14 years. We have successfully trained Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme youngsters with airgun shooting as their chosen sport. Pistols and Rifles are heavy, and youth trainees should be at or above average strength.Benefits
Shooting air weapons with this degree of precision improves strength, encourages responsible behaviour in youngsters, and enables those of any age and physical ability to compete on equal terms.Disabled access
Access for wheelchair is possible by prior arrangement. Shooting can be carried out whilst seated if required. We have no sonic equipment for blind shooters at this club unfortunately.Contact/Membership
