Having been an avid target shooter quite a few years ago....(ecclesfield Rifle and pistol Club), i was wondering if it is still there. I have been working out of town for quite a while, now circumstances have changed and i will be back in sheffield soon. I would like to get back into shooting, but i'm not sure if there are any clubs left.
If anyone has info on this topic, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Carl.

i dont know myself and if no-one can asnwer on here, then going down to the gunshop (hardy's gunsmiths i think) on ecclesall road might help. hes a knowledgable guy with both shot and air guns.
thanks for that advice......i'm down that neck of the woods today, so i'll call in.
The nearest i know of is in MAnsfield.
DRPC has the best facilities within a reasonable driving distance of Sheffield. Covered 25m firing points for gallery rifle. Outdoor 50m gallery rifle range and up to 200 yards for fullbore rifle. And a great clubhouse.
