Air Weapon Section

Morecambe Rifle and Pistol Club Are open on Monday evenings for Air Weapon shooting. If you are not a probationary member or full club member and you are currently going through the initial visit stage, then you MUST produce your WHITE visit card to the range officer in charge. If you do not bring your card you will NOT be allowed to shoot on the night.

This is the busiest evening for the club, with both ranges often running at maximum capacity.

NOTICE TO MEMBERS: Please do not invite your friends to come along to the club without them first contacting the club secretary. This is a Home Office requirement, not a club rule.

 

All types of non FAC air weapons ( not exceeding the UK power limit of 12 ft-lb ) from CO2 powered replica pistols through to sporting rifles and precision target rifles are used on this night.

Most members use their own weapons, though the club does have its own guns which are also available.
Many new members initially start as air gunners, though there are no requirements to do so and we would encourage members to also try firearms before deciding which way you wish to proceed. There is an age limit on the use of firearms at the club of 16 years.

Minimum age for joining the air gunners is 14 years old.
