Members of Fermoy Rifle Club have access to a wide range of shooting facilities and a friendly and experienced club environment.
The club is open Sunday 10am-2pm (all year) and Tuesday 2-8pm (from May to October).
The club does not require any previous experience to join, complete beginners and experienced shooters are equally welcome. Many of our experienced members will be happy to help and guide new members on equipment and technique for the wide range of shooting disciplines that the club offers.
Due to the nature of target shooting, in which focus and concentration are key skills, people can compete on equal terms regardless of age. The club has members aged from 16 to 70, both men and women.
Our commitment to safety is one of the core values of the club and our Range Officers have extensive experience in this area.
Testimonials From Members:
Testimonial 1
I’d always enjoyed online shooters and felt I’d like to try the real thing, especially with people who knew what they were doing. The lads in Fermoy have been brilliant , great welcome and helping me improve. I’m really enjoying the Sunday sessions.
Testimonial 2
I’ve always liked to try new things, one day I saw an article online about shooting, so I decided to give it a go. I came in knowing almost nothing about the sport. I’m glad to say that I now own a rifle and regularly take part in competitions.

One of my friends recommended I try target shooting. I didn’t expect to be interested but I gave it a go anyway, now I have a new hobby that I love. It’s great to be able to fire off a few shots after a stressful week at work. The relaxation and zenness you get from concentrating on the target is unrivaled.
