MESSAGE FROM THE SECRETARY

As we move in to our new shooting season at NI Target Sports I’d like to take this opportunity to say how grateful we are to our entire shooting community and staff for making NI Target Sports the amazing and progressive club it is.

This year we have already broken 2 club records, we have had unprecedented membership retention for the 26/27 season and we have reached a record number for club memberships.

As we move forward for the busy shooting season ahead I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all our club competition facilitators and Range officers for delivering over 100 club competitions every year for all our members to enjoy.

I would also like to thank our in house NI training academy instructors who deliver all our safety and Range officer courses ensuring that all our members and visitors can enjoy target shooting in an extremely safe, fun and relaxed environment.

This year as a club our focus will be on growth, we look forward to growing our facilities at the Buskhill Road and we are excited to grow our amazing relationships with the NRA, UKPSA, PSNI, DSCI, Barrel and Bean and our wonderful in house fi****ms dealership, The Reload shop.

Once again I would like to thank all our wonderful members for Making NI Target Sports the country’s Premier Handgun Target Shooting club.
