    Nice place to practice my air rifle target,plinking hobby back in 2019.They let me use explosive targets indoors and start the ventilation to let all the smoke out. Don't know if I could still do that.People were friendly and experienced. They offered me their Ruger rimfire, told me of their Firearm stories and offered advice in the gun shop. Filled up air rifle for me, as I was a new user. It was a good experience, but moving to France now.

    Run by friendly, helpful volunteers who took time to answer my novice questions and help with techniques for both rifle and pistol shooting on their 10m and 25m ranges. I have since joined the Club and find that the knowledgeable and experienced members are always happy to help.

    Visited Blackburn rifle and pistol club for the first time on Friday 8th November with my friend Nick. On arrival we were greeted by a club member called Dave who showed us around the shooting ranges and amenities. Dave went through the club rules and then put us on the 50m range where we both really enjoyed ourselves. We can’t wait to pay another visit. I must say that Dave probably spent around 2.5 hours with us and made us feel really welcome. Thanks Dave see you soon. Everyone we met was very friendly and helpful. Philip Dewhurst and Nick Townsend.
