TamesidePistol Club
TamesideTameside Pistol Club is based at Weir Mill Range in Mossley, Greater Manchester. We are a Home Office approved shooting range providing a safe, controlled and professionally managed environment for target shooting.
The club exists to promote responsible sport shooting, with a strong emphasis on safety, discipline and proper training. All activity on the range is supervised, and the club operates to recognised standards and procedures at all times.
The club works within UK firearms legislation and operates under strict safety protocols. The range is monitored in line with requirements involving Greater Manchester Police (GMP), and we maintain a close working relationship with relevant authorities to ensure full compliance.
All members are expected to follow clearly defined procedures covering safe handling, range conduct and responsible participation in shooting activities.
Tameside Pistol Club follows structured training processes for all new and probationary members, based on established NRA standards. New members are guided step-by-step through safe firearm handling, range procedures and best practice before progressing further within the club.
The club also follows recognised guidance on shooting disciplines and safeguarding, including principles set out by national organisations such as the National Rifle Shooting Association (NRSA).
This ensures that all members, regardless of experience, train within a consistent and professionally managed framework.
We aim to provide a welcoming and respectful environment for members. The club encourages a culture of responsibility, mutual respect and ongoing development, whether you are completely new to shooting or have prior experience.
Beyond shooting, we recognise the importance of wider wellbeing and community support. We also signpost members and visitors to organisations that provide guidance, training opportunities and support services.
