COVID-19 UPDATE
The club is currently closed due to Covid-19 and will remain so until indoor sport is allowed. When opening is allowed, due to on-going restrictions that will certainly be in place, current members will have limited access. During these restrictions we will not be taking new members.
Until social distancing rules are removed this is unfortunately the situation.
Also the construction of our new range has commenced. This will also cause disruption to our shooting during final construction and change-over.
We are sorry to have to take this action, but as soon as is practicable we will re-open the club to new members."

Welcome to the Felixstowe Rifle Club
The club was formed in around 1900 as the Felixstowe Rifle Club and used the Army Ranges at Landguard Common (now part of the nature reserve).
During World War 2 it became Felixstowe Home Guard Rifle Club. At that time it used the present site with the permission of Mr Clement-Smith and the Drill Hall in Garrison Lane. In 1955 the title was changed back to Felixstowe Rifle Club (FRC) which was the beginning of the club as it is today.
Currently there are around 100 members and the club caters for a variety of different shooting disciplines;
Club members participate in numerous competitions every year ranging from club to national level. We also partner with a shooting club in Wesel, Germany and arrange visits between the clubs each year to shoot an annual competition.
In 2012 the club was used as a training venue by Sakina Mamedova of the Uzbekistan Olympic shooting team. To view the media coverage please click on the links below;
