The East of Scotland Rifle Club

With roots going back to 1861, the East of Scotland Rifle Club (East/ESRC) has a long and noteworthy history.

We have a forward-looking membership, with an eye to the advancement of each member’s shooting ability and we welcome new members every year.

The club has members who are experienced coaches and instructors, and several members are qualified range officers for full-bore shooting on MOD ranges.

The club caters for people interested in the fun and individual discipline of the sport of Target Shooting and welcomes beginners as well as more experienced shooters.  Members are expected to participate and assist in the range activities of the club.

The Club primarily shoots at Castlelaw MOD Range, operated by Landmarc near Edinburgh – 5 minutes down the A702 towards Biggar heading south.  The club also shoots at other ranges by invitation or event.  Normal range distances for practice are 300,400,500 and 600 metres.  Other ranges in Scotland offer the opportunity to shoot as far back as 1100 yards.

The club looks to shoot as regularly as range availability allows – generally 2 times per month, April to September.

We shoot full-bore rifles and have 3 main classes:

Target Rifle (TR) – Very accurate .308”/7.62mm rifles with iron sights, shooting jackets and slings.

Lothian & Borders Rifle Club is a small friendly private club with its own range in the middle of a grouse moor in the Scottish Borders. For most, we primarily use our rifles for sporting and wildlife management purposes, but come together on the range for practice, skill development and competitions. But we do have club members who shoot competitively at an international level.

We shoot out to nearly 600m at a range of different paper and steel targets. Our range is a beautiful place to be but it is fully open to the elements so appropriate clothing essential. We have shoots every other weekend and midweek evenings from beginning of March to July. Competitions include DSC1 type multi position at deer targets, timed gongs and long distance “Fly” target.

We are a Scottish Government Approved Rifle Club and work closely with neighbouring clubs.

For the encouragement and development of scientific rifle shooting at long ranges

The Club is the body responsible for representing Scotland in Long Range Rifle Shooting, and in particular in the International Match for the Elcho Shield

We are target shooters and, as such, derive our amusement from propelling a small piece of metal at a sheet of paper with the intention of punching a hole in it. Because an injurious velocity is achieved we, as shooters, must be responsible for that piece of metal from start of flight to finish. Safety is, therefore, the cornerstone of all of our disciplines.

There has been a shooting range, at Milnain beside Strathpeffer, for many years but it was in 1968 that Major Fred Hoare obtained the Home Office approval for the range to be used by the Strathpeffer Pistol Club. Time passed and, following the demise of the Dingwall Rifle Club, some of the Dingwall members came over to Strathpeffer and the Club changed its name to the Strathpeffer Rifle and Pistol Club. Of course, since the “handguns ban” which followed the Dunblane atrocity, pistol shooting has become rather limited but has not disappeared altogether: as subsequent pages will show.

The club continue to regularly shoot every Sunday throughout the year except Remembrance Sunday.

Our Club facilities have been improved upon by the addition of a small Clubhouse. This was obtained with a grant from “Sport For All Scotland” to whom we are very grateful.

We continue to have the same priority as any club in that we always need to attract new members.  To this end we frequently host “Open Days” where we invite strangers to our pastime along to give it a try and we make every effort to comply with our motto, càirdeil, which, for the non Gaelic speakers, means “friendly”.

So, if you are in any way interested in the shooting disciplines you see on our website please feel free to contact us either using the web link or by telephoning our Chairman or Secretary.
