Newberry Rifle and Pistol Club. 774 Nancy Road. Newberry, SC. 29108.

This is the Rifle range and NOT the pistol range that is in town.  The range is a little less developed than some places.  There is no potable water on site.  Generally port a potty's are available.  Generally camping is allowed.  With both of the previous, you will need to contact the Shoot Boss of the event prior to the event if you need to know the answers.

We do host shoots in the summer at this range as it is down in a vale and next to a stream and is typically cooler.

EYE and EAR protection required by the club.

Update 3/14/24: From the gate to the range, the driveway sometimes gets damaged from heavy rain.  A low ground clearance vehicle MAY have problems getting down to the range.  In which case we will have someone at the gate with an appropriate vehicle and can assist you in getting to the range if you would like.
