About Us
A long history and a bright future
You may have only recently discovered our club and shooting range but we have a long history.
Back in 1941, the club was started at the old Scarbrough Barracks in Balby, Doncaster as part of the Home Guard movement. As the Territorial Army took over the barracks the range became unavailable for use and so some members travelled to Cadeby and looked for a possible site for a range, they found one right next to the old mink farm and so the club moved and began its story in Cadeby in the early 1970's. Until recently the club was still called Balby Rifle and Revolver Club and then in 2024 the present committee finally made the decision to change the name to Cadeby Rifle and Revolver Club.
WHAT WE HAVE TO OFFER.
Over the years the club has gone from strength to strength. We are a Home Office Approved Full Bore club, associated with the NSRA and we currently have a 25 metre range and a 50 metre range too.
If you want target shooting or if you just want to plink, we have many members that enjoy both. At the club you will find people who enjoy various disciplines, from Air Rifle and Air Pistol, Rim-fire Rifle and Pistol, Full-bore Rifle, Black Powder Muzzle loading Rifles and Pistols (all still legal) and the club has future plans to introduce Target Shotgun.
So if any of these activities or events takes your fancy then make an appointment and come see us and have a look at all we have to offer.
