Rifle
From historic pieces more than a century old to modern finely-tuned target rifles, from little .177's through to buffalo gun's, we shoot them all. Most club members have a small calibre rifle, .22LR or perhaps 17HMR, which they shoot at Parracombe. There is a strong contingent in the club who shoot historic weapons, mostly variants of the .303 but with some more exotic pieces as well. Sporting rifles are in evidence at every meeting as are the precision tools - the highly accurate target rifles which could put every shot through the same hole, even if you can't. Favourite calibres are 7.62Nato/308Rem and .223Rem - even at 600yds at Millpool.

Black Powder
If you are the sort of person who likes paraphernalia, who hankers for a long-lost era, who likes a 'boom' more than a 'bang', who is not concerned with a rate of fire measured in minutes per round rather than rounds per minute, then come and hang out with our other smokers.

Pistol and Gallery Rifle
So they are not pistols as they used to be - they belch clouds of black-powder smoke or have barrels four feet long - but some people still like to hold their firearms at the back end, try to hold them steady, and attempt to make a hole somewhere in the target. If this is the sort of thing you like doing you won't be alone.
