Our Club
Salisbury Vintage Rifle and Pistol Club is a Home Office approved target shooting club. We shoot at a 25 metre outdoor range at the far end of Old Sarum airfield and Bisley.
We cater for enthusiasts of black powder, small bore and vintage military rifles and other shooting disciplines including air weapons.
History of the club
The club was formed in the early 1970’s to allow collectors of Antique Firearms the opportunity to shoot them. The club is Home Office approved for all Muzzle Loading Rifles and Pistols, Small Bore Rifles, Full Bore Rifles and is affiliated to the N.R.A. The membership covers Wiltshire and surrounding counties.
Over the years the club has expanded the types of firearms used and we now include everything from air pistol/rifle through to gallery rifles as well as those aforementioned. We hold regular competitions to include all the classes of weapons that we are permitted to shoot under our license.
