Who we are...

Langar Rifle Club was founded from the amalgamation of two rifle clubs, Freelancers RC and Falcons RC in 1999. Langar RC is situated in Langar in Nottinghamshire and provides mainly two different disciplines in 'Target Rifle' shooting, namely .22 calibre and 7.62mm calibre.

What we do...

We are a club that specialises in prone position (lying on the ground) target rifle shooting. The club is made up of .22 shooters and 7.62 shooters and some skilled in both disciplines. We shoot on ranges all over the world, indoor and outdoor and from distances of 25 yards up to 1100 yards.

What is Target Rifle Shooting...

Target rifle shooting is a sport which primarily involves a competitor, a single shot rifle and a paper target. It is one of the safest sports in the world and there are stringent rules set in place to achieve this. Target rifle can be shot in different calibres, positions, (together form the 'discipline'), ranges and can be shot both indoor and outdoor. It is a precision sport which involves hand eye co-ordination and the ability to read the conditions around you. Outdoor shooting involves reading the wind speed (strength), direction, mirage, topography of the range and even air pressure.
