Altcar Ranges are unique in that they are the only major ranges owned by a Reserve Forces & Cadets Association. The land was given by Lord Sefton and first used for the Grand Lancashire Rifle Contest on Monday, 29 October 1860.
Morecambe Rifle and Pistol Club visits Altcar Rifle ranges about 6 times per year. This gives our members the opportunity to shoot full bore Rifles, including Black powder rifles at ranges of 300 and 600 yards.
The Club has its own weapons for use by club menbers who do not possess their own full bore rifle
