    Hi mate and welcome,
    I know Chorley well as I used to go to school there, many years ago.
    If you are looking for a decent club to join why not have a look at us at Blackburn Outdoor Airgun Club.
    Also locally you have Rivington Riflemen or Atherton Indoor Range.

    There hasn't been a gun shop in Chorley for more than 30 years.

    But two good local ones are McAvoy Guns at Standish and Bamfords at Eccleston.
    That mod from Yns Mon's been interfering with me.

    Inside the borough, yes, but not in the actual town--pie eater!

    If you require details of Rivington Riflemen give me a shout or contact me through the club web site. We are hosting a national round of the UKAHFT on the 28th June.

    If you are willing to travel a bit, apart from the mentioned gun shops there is Blackpool Air Rifles. I would strongly suggest you try before you buy either at Atherton or ourselves.

    Welcome aboard.

    Thank you
    I highly recommend BOAC for outdoor shooting You'll find many knowledgeable and friendly faces there.
    Our shooters at A.I.R. are known for being friendly and welcoming, and we're constantly working to improve and expand what we offer. See our website for more information. http://www.athertonindoorrange.co.uk/

    Hello Harrison, I too am new to the site and also live Chorley. I joined Rivington Riflemen last October and whether you're interested in joining or not, the indoor range is a great place to visit to get advice and to shoot different types of rifles and pistols. I generally go every Wednesday and Thursday evenings, but it's also open all day Sunday. If you fancy a look round, contact Ian as he suggested and he'll sort you out.

    P.S.
    If you contact him by email, you'll avoid having to speak to him..
