Master Fullbore Shooting with Trentham Rifle Club

Embark on an exciting journey with the Trentham Rifle Club, where the thrill of fullbore shooting brings families and individuals together in a unique sporting experience. Every Saturday from September to May, we welcome visitors to try their hand at target shooting at our range in Trentham, Upper Hutt, Wellington. This activity, perfect for all ages, offers a fantastic opportunity to engage in a sport that’s inclusive of men, women, boys, and girls. Whether you’re a seasoned shooter or a curious beginner, our club provides a supportive environment to learn and compete. The first afternoon’s shooting is free, with only a small charge for ammunition used. We also have club rifles and equipment available for hire at a minimal fee, and no firearms licence is required to start. Sessions typically kick off at 1 pm, but we advise checking the WRA Shooting Programme for exact timings. Each session lasts around 180 minutes, giving you plenty of time to immerse yourself in the sport.

Immerse yourself in a community that values both competition and camaraderie. At Trentham Rifle Club, established in 2014, we pride ourselves on fostering a family-friendly atmosphere. Shooting is one of the few sports where entire families can participate together, often competing at national and international levels. Beyond the range, we host regular social events like BBQs, Christmas parties, and prize-giving evenings, ensuring non-shooting partners and children feel just as welcome. It’s not just about the sport—it’s about building connections and creating lasting memories with like-minded enthusiasts. Come along and experience the fun and competitive spirit for yourself! 🎯👨‍👩‍👧
