hello, we are the dsa …
The Duchy Shooting Association (DSA) was formed in 1986 by a group of shooting enthusiasts who wanted to provide a centre for shooting within Cornwall covering as many shooting disciplines as possible. Our aim was to build our own range facilities from scratch to ensure that as far as possible we were self-contained and not reliant on third-party range providers. None of our ranges existed before 1986, and all of the facilities you see now are the result of tireless work by past and present members to present what we consider to be one of the best ranges in the Westcountry. A testament to that is our membership which is now well over 300 and welcoming more new and existing shooters each month.
Our ranges are situated in the centre of Cornwall near Zelah and comprise the Wilkins 100m 16 lane full bore range (with 50m and 75m options too), McGill 25m 9 lane gallery range with optional turning targets, the Tippet ranges comprise 3 lane air bench range, the 40 target HFT air range, 40 target FT air range and 50m air zero range.
The 100m, 25m, air bench rest and air zero ranges all have covered firing points. We are also working on adding an indoor 10m 3 lane air range and additional dedicated PSG shooting bays.
Our clubhouse offers a friendly meeting space, with tea and coffee making facilities, workshop, disabled access, and toilets.
We shoot every Thursday and Sunday, and the first Tuesday in the month, and are open from 9.00 to 4.00.
We shoot full-bore and small-bore rifle, LBP/LBR, Section 1 shotgun, black powder rifle, musket and pistol, target shotgun, bench rest, FT & HFT on our air ranges.
