Welcome to all Club Members and Supporters

The site aims to bring a wealth of information to NARGC club members on all the topics in which they are interested, and more. Game shooting is an important recreational activity for thousands of Irish people for whom countrysports is a way of life.

Countrysports generates €111m for the Irish economy annually of which some €42m is accounted for by game shooting. The NARGC website will bring news and information on a wide variety of subjects relating to game shooting and other relevant matters, keeping all club members up to date on the latest developments affecting their sport. The site will also give access to the websites of our international partners.

Whether you are an existing club member or a prospective member, or intending to form a club, or seeking information on how to manage a club, or information on best safety practice, game rearing, predator control etc, all the necessary information can be found here... Read more
