Welcome to Ham & Petersham Rifle & Pistol Club Ltd

Welcome to the Club
Ham and Petersham Rifle and Pistol Club Ltd, is a private shooting club based in Ham, near the River Thames and close to Ham House. We are incorporated as a Company Limited by Guarantee so we are not a commercial business. We were founded on 7th April 1906, according to the front of the early Annual Reports, although there is now evidence that we began in 1903.
The Club has large grounds, with six outdoor ranges (range tour) from 25 yards to 100 yards in length,
which are used for archery , air guns, .22, .38, .44 and .45 calibre
rifles and Black Powder pistols. Inside the Clubhouse (buildings tour)
there is a general purpose 25 metre range and a .177 air pistol and air
rifle ten metre range.
Visitors
(who, we hope, will join and
become Members of the Club) are specially catered for on " Guest Day "
the first Sunday of each month. Entry costs £5. We can show you
around, tell you about the Club, and you will be introduced to whatever
interests you on a one to one basis with an experienced member. To find
out where we are, click here.
The Club runs a lot of competitions in a great range of
disciplines, to find out about these, press here.
While Members can use their own guns and bows, the Club
has a wide selection of equipment for hire at £1 per session.
We also sell consumable items such as targets and
ammunition.
There is also an "Items for Sale" section where people can
advertise their guns and other shooting equipment for sale.
