Monmouth & District Rifle Club
Situated in the border town of Monmouth in the scenic Wye valley, the club draws its current membership of 65 mainly from the surrounding counties of Monmouthshire, Gloucestershire and Herefordshire. The historically shifting border is signified in the club badge by the Lion of England and the Dragon of Wales indicating the club's allegiance to both. The club's current home is a former railway tunnel on the outskirts of the town. Founded in 1908, the club claims to be one of the oldest rifle clubs in the region. The club shoots three nights a week and occasionally on weekends. The 100yd indoor range has six firing points and electronic turning targets, which are programmable for a multitude of competitions or scenarios. A small 10metre air weapons range is set up inside the clubhouse and there are plans to enlarge this at some time in the future.
