Thetford Gallery

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: £20.

WHAT YOU CAN USE

Fullbore calibres at various distances out to a maximux of 600 yards, prone or in pits (CGR range). And fullbore calibres out to 300 yards, prone or in pits (ETR range).
There is a civilian muzzle energy limit of 4,500 joules on Thetford Gallery. Handloads are permitted but is your responsibility to know what level of energy your ammunition produces.
Zeroing at 100 yards will be offered at the 8.30 assembly, for those who need it. Please ensure your rifle is properly zeroed before shooting commences.

PLEASE NOTE

At Barton Road, like many of our other fullbore ranges, the whole day is spent outdoors. So, if it pours down, your car is the place to go. Lunch is usually taken on the fly.
Unlike many other ranges, this one does have toilets.

YOU MUST BRING YOUR FAC, SCC CARD AND CLUB MEMBERSHIP CARD TO THIS SHOOT.
MoD shoots are subject to spot-checks by the range controller and you will not be allowed to shoot without these documents.
