Hi all, I would like to take up target shooting but I don't know of any rifle/pistol clubs in my area (wexford). I've done some rifle and pistol shooting abroad. Does anyone know of any clubs in this area that I could get in touch with? Thanks.

Fermoy is a good target club, or Rathdrum Rifle and Pistol Club in Wicklow.

User RRPC will be around shortly no doubt!

Fermoy and RRPC are a mite far from wexford though - there is at least one club down there. Email joecoie@eircom.net and ask about the wexford shooting club. You could also contact the local gun club and ask, there's a phone number for a contact on this page. G17 gave good advice on finding clubs in wexford:

There are several shooting clubs (clay shooting, pistol, rifle) in County Wexford. Your best bet is to ask in some of the gun shops for contacts; there are shops all over the county in places such as New Ross, Gorey, Camolin, Enniscorthy, Wexford, Ballymurn.... The Golden Pages is your best friend there. I'm not aware of any walk in off the street type clubs.

The NARGC will be able to give you the name of your local Game Protection Association, they have land to shoot (usually hunt) on in many areas. Very many GPAs shoot clay pigeons too.

This time of year is often best as memberships often run from July to July to coincide with certificate renewals.

Another good place to ask is your local Garda Station, they will know who the local shooters are and might well point you in the right direction or pass on your details if you have helpful ones.
