Target shooting is one of the 26 Olympic and 21 Paralympic Sports, as well as being one of the events that make up Modern Pentathlon. It is not generally seen as a mainstream activity, but thanks to London2012 and the success of Team GB, the sport of target shooting has seen a marked increase in interest from all ages and abilities during subsequent years.

Target shooting is a sport that anyone, of any age, gender and physical ability* can participate in alongside one another. It can inspire those individuals who aren't particularly interested in, or capable of taking part in, the “popular” sports.

Ferndown Gun Club is a 'members only' club, and all visits to the range to shoot must be booked through our on-line booking system.

• affiliated to the National Rifle Association (NRA UK).
