    Hi, could anyone tell me please if there is a rifle club for competition target shooting anywhere in South East Ireland?

    When I google it I found a like suggesting Wexford rifle club but the only contact details were an email address which was incorrect.

    Cheers,

    C

    Thanks for the replies :)

    B'man I'm enquiring for the other half, he's interested in target/competition

    He was in the club in Blueball, Offaly before but its a bit too far a trek!

    Hi caprilicious. As you can see I'm here in KK as well and travel up to the Midlands range most weekends. I know it a 55 mile drive but it's the only place to go if the man of the house wants a good range to go to.

    And the by-pass is open around Tullamore so it cuts out that town now

    Depends on what type of shooting the other half wants to do. Harbour House in Nurney is about 60k from Kilkenny and they do Bench rest .22 at 25m (I'm not sure if they do any longer ranges) but you can check out their website at: harbourhouseshooting.com

    Most of the other ranges are farther away, the ones in East Wicklow and Fermoy are all over 100k from Kilkenny.

    There are supposed to be a couple in the Wexford area, but if there are, they are keeping their locations and details super secret :rolleyes:

    I've heard talk of a couple of ranges, you need to know the right people to get in though.
