    A map of all the ranges I know of: http://www.mcdermottroe.com/shooting/clubs/locations/map.php?club=All

    BRC, DTSC and DRC should all be within relatively easy reach of you.

    There are some details in the boards.ie wiki: http://wiki.boards.ie/wiki/Shooting_Clubs_and_Ranges Some wiki pages have full club details, some only have links to the club websites and some have no contact details at all.

    If you can't find any details there, ask here about a specific club and we can try and find you a contact number.

    If the club has club firearms then they'll let you shoot them and you won't need your own. I would say that you should first go to a club that has club guns, there's no point spending all the money up front until you see how you find shooting and get some advice on what to buy.

    Some clubs will have club rifles and pistols, while others may not, so it's worth contacting them all individually. Also, not all club ranges are certified for fullbore rifles and pistols, and few have the ranges for fullbore rifle, so it's worth having a think about what you intend to get involved in.
