Located in Earlsfield in South West London, the Borough of Wandsworth Rifle Club is one of the oldest clubs belonging to the National Small-bore Rifle Association.
The club has indoor and outdoor ranges for small-bore rifle target shooting, as well as air pistol and air rifle facilities. There are plenty of members who are more than willing to help beginners and experts alike hone their shooting skills.
The club also competes all year round in competitions and is historically and currently one of the most successful small-bore clubs, but we are always on the lookout for new members to swell the ranks of the teams.
Beginners sessions in all disciplines are at present fully subscribed and there is at least a six month waiting list.

The inception of the Borough of Wandsworth Rifle Club dates back to to 1903 when members of the Wandsworth Borough Council Lt. Genl. Sir Frederick Lance KCB and Mr F.J. Liddington started the club. Christening it the Earlsfield & District Rifle Club, they and the 70 members of the club were allowed to use the Public Baths as an indoor range during the winter.
Earlsfield Facilities
The club has indoor and outdoor ranges for .22 target rifles, air pistols and air rifles.
The indoor ranges consist of a 6 point, 25 yards gallery for small-bore target shooting and a 3 point, 6 yards and 10 metre air rifle and air pistol gallery.
Outdoors there is a covered point for 25 and 50 yards, 50 metres and 100 yards (.22 target rifle) plus a 3 point, 20 yard range for Lightweight Sporting Rifle.
Unfortunately at present they are unable to accommodate Field Target Air Rifle.
I am interested in coming down at the weekend. Can we just turn up and attend the shooting range? What are the opening times? What are the prices?
