Durham Pistol and Rifle Club

Facilities

At the DPRC we currently have 8 shooting ranges to facilitate every shooting discipline, with a few specialized for specific shooting disciplines i.e. benchrest or bullseye pistol shooting. In addition to the shooting ranges we have a Bow Hunting Course with multiple targets.

This range also has a two firing point bench at the far right of the firing line where members and their guests can sight in their firearms before attempting finer adjustments at longer distances. There is a target shed behind the range with all kinds of rifle targets and cardboard backers inside.
