ABOUT THETFORD GALLERY
These ranges are operated and maintained on behalf of the MoD by Landmarc Solutions. Military training takes precedence over civilian shoots and so dates may change at short notice.
There are two ranges which Grove can hire. One is the CGR (converted gallery range) out to a maximum of 600 yards, with targets by hand. The other the ETR (electronic target range) which runs to 300 yards and has figure targets that drop and reset automatically when “hit”.
Thetford is an outdoor military range and has no clubhouse. There is a loo alongside the butts at Thetford Gallery, but porcelain and running water is all you get. The Warden’s office near the ETR range, however, is more well-equipped.
HOW TO GET THERE
The range has its own exit from the A11 roundabout just past Forest Retail Park, south of Thetford. MAP.
DATES & TIMES
Please arrive at 08.00 to help set up and be ready for a range briefing in the carpark at 08.30. Attendees are then divided into two details, to shoot and mark targets.
Shoots are held throughout the year but may be changed or cancelled at very short notice. Please check the club hotline and this website before setting out! See calendar.
Range fee: £15.
WHAT YOU CAN USE
