Mid Ulster Air-Rifle Club
The Mid Ulster Air-Rifle Club was founded in 1999 just outside Dungannon. After two years, the club had to change its venue due to building contracts. The club acquired grounds on an annual lease basis from the Washing Bay Gun Club, which worked well until a more suitable location was found at Loughhall Country Park. With the support of the Armagh City and District Council, the Mid Ulster Air-Rifle Club has gone from strength to strength, improving its facilities and building an honourable reputation throughout Northern Ireland.
