Welcome to Wakefield Rifle And Pistol Club (WRPC). We are an independently run shooting club offering excellent pistol and rifle range facilities.

WRPC was established in 1977 as a member-only club to promote sportsmanship, competition and training in pistol and rifle marksmanship.

Affiliation to the National Rifle Association, the National Small Bore Rifle Association and the Muzzle Loaders Association of Great Britain, means we regularly compete locally, nationally and internationally.

We have both 10 metre & 20 yard air weapons ranges plus an additional two 25 metre ranges to cater for .22 carbines, centre-fire carbines, black powder pistols and .22 prone rifle.

All ranges are equipped with electric targets or compressed air turning targets.

Both air weapons & small bore ranges offer full disabled access. Full bore disciplines are undertaken at Strenall range near York as allocated by the M.O.D.


Wakefield Rifle and Pistol Club actively promote a wide range of shooting disciplines
