Welcome to Oundle Rifle and Pistol Club

About ORPC

Oundle Rifle and Pistol Club is a thriving target shooting club in Northamptonshire. We shoot a wide variety of disciplines and enjoy strong and active support from our membership. The club is located at Oundle, a small market town in East Northamptonshire close to Peterborough. We have five different ranges across our two separate sites and cater for full-bore, small-bore, air rifle/pistol, gallery rifle, black-powder and practical shotgun shooting. We are Home-Office approved and are affiliated to the NRA, NRSA and the UKPSA.

Ranges

The club has two ranges, an indoor facility in the town of Oundle and an outdoor facility at Barnwell, a village just outside the town. The Oundle range has two 25 yard ranges offering small-bore, air, gallery and black-powder disciplines. The outdoor range Barnwell has three ranges - 25, 50 and 100 yards - all with covered firing points. We shoot all the indoor disciplines plus centre-fire rifle, practical shotgun and action competitions with turning targets. The 50 yard range is also certificated for the use of 12 gauge solid-slug.

Open Days

The club holds open days during the year where non-Firearm Certificate holders have the opportunity to shoot full-bore rifles under close supervision as an introduction to target shooting. This must be by special invitation only, via a personal introduction from an existing member of the club.
