About Shooting Clubs Insurance
Shooting clubs insurance for ranges, clay shoots and target venues
Shooting clubs insurance is designed for rifle clubs, clay shooting clubs, target shooting venues, gun ranges and sports clubs where members, visitors or guests take part in supervised shooting activity.
These clubs often need a more specialist conversation than a standard sports venue because insurers will want to understand firearms licensing, range rules, supervision, ammunition handling, member vetting, instructor competence, storage, security, spectators, events and how incidents are recorded and controlled.
Use this page to review cover, pricing and insurer appetite for shooting clubs insurance, and use the sports facility insurance page if the enquiry also involves adjacent venue types, cover options or risk issues.
