WPRC have been shooting as a club since 1982 and are currently the most active of the Hertfordshire Rifle Association clubs. Not surprisingly many members live in the Home Counties but despite our Hertfordshire affiliation, our membership catchment area spreads as far afield as Staffordshire and even Yorkshire. Full bore target rifle shooting, at distances from 300 to 1000 yards, is our core activity, which is carried out almost exclusively at Bisley in Surrey.

Visitors to this site should note that this Rifle Club cannot offer shooting in Air weapons, Small bore .22 or any discipline other than Full Bore Target Rifle.

We have a full club programme running from March through October, which is primarily designed to meet the needs of club members. Our main aim is a relaxed and sociable yet competitive atmosphere, and the active encouragement of those who strive to improve. Coaching from beginner standard and upwards is always available and actively encouraged for the improving shooter.

Activities are also tailored to allow members to take part in County and other Bisley Club events. Several members have represented the Club at County and National level and we aim to enter teams in County and Imperial meeting competitions.

We use paid markers and when shooting an average club day of five shoots, the cost including top quality ammo is about £60. The Club has all the equipment necessary to support its activities, including four top quality RPA 2000 rifles, hire of which is only £10.00 per day and £5.00 per half day for those members who do not have their own equipment. Club subscriptions work out at £45.00 per annum which includes block entry fees to all club competitions. There are VERY favourable rates for Junior members, who benefit from free rifle hire, low cost range fees and reduced membership rates.

The growth of our sport is one of the strong focuses at the club. To encourage guests to join us for a day on the ranges, we charge a 'Green Fee' of £10.00 a day to visitors who are supervised during the shooting day by an appointed experienced Coach and Mentor. Green Fee attendance is limited to two appearances per season, which can be credited against a full subscription paid on joining the Club.

Due to changes imposed by the Ministry of Defence, novices who wish to take up the sport are required to join Rifle Clubs affiliated to the NRA. In doing so they are also required to complete a formal training course which is run by WPRC.

We hope our current shooting calendar, will encourage you to give us a call. Club committee members will give you more detailed information on our activities and will help you to arrange your ‘Green Fee’ day if you wish.
