Learn to shoot safely, confidently, and at your own pace
We’re the Reigate Miniature Rifle & Pistol Club — a friendly, inclusive target shooting club based in the historic
sand caves beneath Reigate. We’ve been teaching beginners for over 100 years.
No experience. No licence required to start. Club equipment provided.
Beginners start with Air Rifles
Every new shooter starts with air rifles, supervised by trained Range Officers, so you can learn safe handling and good technique in a calm, controlled environment.
- Learn range safety from the first visit
- Build confidence step-by-step
- Enjoy an accessible, structured introduction to the sport
Only later, if you want to, you can progress to .22 rimfire and eventually fullbore. Many members stay with air rifles and are perfectly happy — there’s no pressure to progress.
Safety is our first priority
- All shooting is supervised by trained and experienced Range Officers
- You’ll receive clear safety instruction before you shoot
- We focus on safe handling, etiquette, and good habits from day one
Your first visit: New Probationer Induction
3rd Wednesday of every month @ 7:30pm — designed for complete beginners.
- Introduction to the club and the sand cave ranges
- Range and gun safety briefing
- How our evenings work (what to expect, what it costs, what you’ll do)
- Plenty of time for questions
Register before you attend (required)
To attend the induction, you must complete our online registration first.
- Go to https://rmrpc.flutterflow.app and sign up as a new user (you’ll receive a validation email).
- Complete Your Profile and upload:
- A head-and-shoulders profile photo (passport-style)
- Your ID document
- Register for “New Probationer Induction” via Courses.
- If registering multiple people, log out and create a separate account for each person — each user must have a unique email (including juniors).
Important notes before you come
- Local area: The club is most suitable for people living within around 30 miles of Reigate, because regular attendance matters during probation.
- Accessibility: Our ranges are in historic sand caves and are not fully DDA compliant (steps, small doors, uneven surfaces). We cannot safely accommodate people with significant mobility impairments.
- Juniors: Juniors are welcome. There’s no fixed minimum age, but they must be able to follow instruction and understand that a firearm is not a toy.

Most people come for relaxed target shooting and the social side — and that’s absolutely fine. If you do want to progress further, we can support you too.
