Corinium Rifle Range is a Home Office-approved rifle club for sporting rifle shooters, offering membership to individuals who want regular access to a professional shooting facility for rifle practice, zeroing, stalking preparation and target shooting.
For some applicants, membership of a Home Office-approved rifle club can form part of the evidence supporting a Firearm Certificate (FAC) application, particularly where club membership and regular shooting activity provide a legitimate reason for possessing and using a firearm.
We can provide guidance and practical assistance with the relevant club paperwork and help members understand the requirements associated with their FAC application, renewal or variation.
Membership is subject to a face-to-face meeting and approval.
Membership provides a range of benefits for regular sporting rifle shooters, including:
Our aim is to provide more than simply access to a rifle range. Members can benefit from ongoing practical advice covering sporting rifles, optics, ammunition, equipment, zeroing, shooting technique and preparation for deer stalking and driven game.
£200 per year + £70 one-off joining fee
Static Club Membership is suitable for shooters using rimfire and centrefire rifles, and includes access to our static shooting facilities and targets.
Membership includes use of:
Members receive discounted hourly rates for regular rifle practice, target shooting, stalking preparation and zeroing.
Please note that Static Club Membership does not include the discounted member rates for the Running Boar range.
£450 for two years + £70 one-off joining fee
Running Boar Club Membership is designed for centrefire rifle shooters who want the additional benefit of our specialist Running Boar facility.
It includes all the benefits of Static Club Membership, together with preferential rates when using the Running Boar range.
Our Running Boar facility provides specialist training for shooters preparing for driven boar, driven game and moving-target shooting.
As a Home Office-approved rifle club, Corinium Rifle Range can be particularly useful for shooters applying for their first Firearm Certificate (FAC) or for existing certificate holders looking to add an appropriate calibre or firearm for a legitimate shooting purpose.
We can provide practical advice and assistance with FAC applications, renewals and variations, including the club-related paperwork required as part of the process.
However, membership of a Home Office-approved club does not by itself guarantee that an FAC application will be successful. Applicants must satisfy the relevant licensing requirements and demonstrate a legitimate good reason for possessing the firearm or calibre requested.
Regular and purposeful attendance at the club is also important. Police firearms licensing departments may check club attendance records when assessing an application.
If you become a member, we therefore encourage you to make genuine use of the facilities for regular rifle practice and training.
Membership is completed following a face-to-face conversation with us, which is an informal opportunity to discuss your shooting experience, requirements and intended use of the range.
This takes place during your first booking with us, following which membership is subject to approval.
Our membership is intended for genuine sporting rifle shooters who wish to use the range for regular practice, zeroing, training and shooting development.
Membership does not provide priority for range bookings.
All range appointments are booked on an individual, one-to-one basis and are subject to availability and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
