Off hand \u2018Schuetzen\u2019 style shooting with muzzle loading rifles is extremely popular in Europe and is a precision <\/strong>discipline<strong> with shooters regularly achieving near perfect scores.

There are a number of different categories including matchlocks, flintlocks, percussion single shot and revolvers. Matchlock and flintlock pistols are smoothbore, and like their longer barrelled brethren, can be surprisingly accurate.<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pistol shooting offers opportunities to use such esoteric firearms as Japanese matchlocks, through to fine flintlock and percussion duelling pistols, or revolvers of the American west, and is a deservedly popular discipline. Whilst original pistols will be seen on the ranges, there are a wide variety of reproductions made today that cater for many interests.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rifle and musket shooting are popular disciplines, encompassing a wide variety of firearms that appeal to sporting interest, the military enthusiast or the keen target shooter. Matchlock, flintlock and percussion muzzle loaders plus early black powder breech loaders will be seen on the ranges, including Japanese matchlocks, Brown Bess muskets, Enfield and Whitworth rifles also Snider and Martini-Henry rifles.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Members of the club are provided within the Gun room reloading benches and presses.
