Disabled Access & Facilities 

Bideford Target Shooting Club has been in a unique position to be able to build and offer full disabled access to the sport of target shooting. 

 

Being in the position to build new range and facilities we are very much in mind of the whole community and want to encourage and welcome everyone to our sport. It's not a physical sport by any stretch of the imagination, no running, jumping, throwing, punching, swimming or even much walking to be honest but the mental, physical and competitive challenges do exist allowing abled, disabled, women, men and juniors to compete completely on a level playing field and target shooting is possibly the only sport that can offer that, the blind or partially sighted people can also take part, have we got your attention yet?

 

So far the club has built the outdoor range facilities and poly tunnel ranges to provide shelter in the winter months, our next project is to build a club room with kitchen facilities by converting the barn.
