Learning to shoot couldn’t be any easier & THE Club can help you.
We teach air and live fire in the caves in Reigate and our range officers are passionate about the sport.
Shooting is a hobby that can be enjoyed by all the family.
It's great fun, so regardless of whether you're new to shooting, or an experienced shot wanting to improve, we can help.
Our range officers will help the shooter with shooting safety and etiquette, gun fit and selection.
You don't need to own a gun already because we have a range of Club guns which you can use.
Your first visit.
3rd Wednesday every month – new probationer evening: We welcome you to this session which is held monthly on the 3rd Weds of the month. The evening will be a chance to be introduced to the club, hear about safety, an introduction to the location, the weapons and answering any questions you have. You will be looked after by our Range Officers who are experienced in the disciple as well as the club.
The door is kept locked therefore you should arrive and wait at the door between 7.25 and 7.30 to be let in or there is a door bell to alert us you are there and you should insert a pen or key into a hole in the top right of the door, we will hear it and come and let you in.
Where are we: The shooting range is in sand caves adjacent to Reigate town centre and can be found by walking up from the town centre between The Old Market Hall pub and Café Rouge into the tunnel. The entrance door is half way back on the left hand side.
What we need from you: As a beginner, we do not expect you to have your own gun, although you can shoot your own gun at the club, as we have a selection of club guns you can use and you do not need a firearms license to use these guns. You just need to provide some identifications, sign a form specifying that you are not banned from handling a firearm and bring some cash with you, about £5 in coins.

Your 2nd visit and after.
After your initial welcome visit: Once you have completed the introduction session above, you can attend the probationer evening which is held on a Monday @ 7:30pm.
What will you do: For your first 3 weeks minimum, you will shoot on the air range and under the instruction of the Range Officer who will guide you through gun handling and safety as well as having a chance to shoot the air rifles on the 10m range. Once you have some confidence on this range you could then progress to the 20 yd (air & .22rf) or 25yd (.22rf) as your skill and interests increase.
Then: After your first visit, you can then become a probationer before being considered for membership after about 18 visits and with agreement of the committee. Junior visitors pay a £1.00 per visit with adults paying £2.00 per visit fees, plus fees for gas (50p), shooting cards (10p/20p) and pellets (1p per round as used), so an evening of shooting should cost you about £3 to £5 in total.
Reigate Miniature Rifle & Pistol Club shoot several disciplines including .177 Air (Pistol and Rifle) at 10m as well as .22rf at 25yd on a Monday night. Safety is, of course, our first priority and we are able to train and give guidance to both beginners and to shooters to a reasonably high standard. Members can take part in club and postal competitions so in time if you remain interested you can pursue the sport to whatever standard you choose.
Please give us a call on 07898 854321 if you would like to come or if you would like to discuss the club in more detail, or leave a message for me to call you back at a convenient time.
We hope to see you down at the Club sometime soon.
