The Beckley Gun Club was founded in 1976. Since its inception the club has been an affiliate of the National Rifle Association and dedicated to the safe and responsible ownership and enjoyment of firearms.

The Club’s first range facilities were located in Beckley. In 1979 the club expanded its operations by moving to a site near Eccles. In 1994 the Club again moved, this time to its present site on West Whitby Road near Cool Ridge.

Twice the Beckley Gun Club has been chosen NRA Gun Club of the Year. It is the only club in the country to be so doubly honored.
