Due to restrictions slowly lifting Martin from Cheshunt Rifle & Pistol Club was finally able to get his hands on the fantastic 1st prize. He collected the Walther LG400 today from the NSRA head office. Although you can’t tell behind his mask, Martin was very happy with his prize.
The NSRA represents around 900 clubs which cover a diverse range of disciplines. The clubs all have their own “character” and most members and committee members put in an inordinate amount of work to maintain them. Across these clubs some are mainly focussed on recreational shooting. However, others have a more competitive focus and aspire to enrol, nurture and prepare high quality competitive shooters – many of whom aspire to represent their county, region or country in high level competition.
At the NSRA we receive a great many enquiries from people wanting to find a club in their area. The majority of these are new to shooting and really don’t know (or only have a vague idea) which discipline they wish to try. However, we do get enquiries from people who want to compete from the start and aspire to Commonwealth Games or Olympics or just to be, “…the best they can be…” Clearly, if this latter group are directed to a club that has a sole purpose of recreation, shooting non-ISSF disciplines or has no facilities or coaching available for these disciplines then sending them to these clubs would not be suitable and could result in them not taking up the sport. Further to this we often get current shooters who would like to join another, more competitive club to be with like-minded individuals, appropriate facilities or good coaching.

The rate of progress with the renovations and alterations at NSRA Aldersley has far outstripped my wildest expectations. Our volunteers have been amazing and we are very grateful for all the time they have given so generously. It has been great team effort with members of all three ‘in-house’ clubs (Aldersley Aigunners – our over fifties group, Goodyear Rifle Club and Lucas Rifle and Pistol Club) coming together to help.
There is 10% off everything in stock (excluding firearms and targets) so GET READY TO SHOOT and put Lockdown behind us.

The Home Office has announced changes to the Firearms Rules 1998 which will take effect from 7 May 2021, and introduce changes relating to:
- the prescribed forms for firearm and shotgun certificates, enabling recording of the “unique identifying mark” on the firearm or shotgun or its component parts
- clarification of the obligation to inform the chief officer of police of the theft, loss or destruction in Great Britain of a firearm or shotgun certificate, or of any firearm or shotgun or ammunition to which the certificate relates.
Please see Circular 002/2021 The Firearms (Amendment) Rules 2021 on the gov.uk site for full details.
Two weeks ago we emailed a number of members whose membership had lapsed as of 31 December 2020. Our concern was with the resumption of shooting recently it was important your membership and insurance cover was in place and valid. All those emailed normally renew by Direct Debit and for reasons we have already published those auto-renewal payments were not taken.
In our recent communication we confirmed our intention to apply for such a payment today. A number of you have already contacted us and if payment has been made by another method or you do not wish to renew at all your details have been removed from the direct debit run. If a payment is taken in error please advise us by emailing This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and a refund will be processed.
Thank you for your co-operation and understanding in this matter.
