Christchurch Central Target Shooting

Christchurch Central City Target Shooting Club is a smallbore rifle club which has been going for over 60 years. It is now a combined club of "Central" and "City" clubs .  - Central has been previously known as Richmond Working Men’s Club and Sydenham Club but with both clubs combining it it is now just known as "Central".  

We shoot at the main Christchurch Target Shooting Range at 11 Bangor Street in Central Christchurch.

Although small in membership numbers, the shooters in our club have lots of experience. Some have been shooting for over 50 years and are more than willing to assist new shooters into a great sport.

You start shooting off a rifle rest and then once ready, we move you into a jacket and sling. Within a few weeks, all going well, shooters will able to shoot on their own (still supervised) and should see their scores steadily improve.  Once ready, we then encourage attending our competitions (still supervised and assisted until competent & holding a firearms licence). Firearm safety is taught and strictly enforced.
