Rifle:
Our club mainly focuses on .22 Calibre Small Bore Rifle target shooting at a nearby range. We are very much a mixed ability group that focuses on development so we can participate in local competitions, BUCS and Varsity. We also aim to give our members as many opportunities at new experiences (e.g. fullbore target shooting) as possible demonstrated by our annual trip to Bisley. We usually shoot Wednesday afternoon and Sundays.
The joining fee (standard membership) is £160 for the year. This covers your insurance costs, use of the club range, equipment and firearms. An additional cost to consider is the ammunition used while training.
Shotgun:
Shoots:
Every Wednesday we travel to Crynant shooting grounds to shoot a variaty of clay pigeon diciplines including English sporting, Skeet, Trap and down the line. Owning a Shotgun license is not required as we offer coaching for shooters of all abilities however shooters without a license are required to complete an introductory session costing around £60.
Competative clay shooting:
Every year we compete in BUCS and varsity as well as numerous friendly competitions with other universities. Competitions are usually team based with an individual element for talented shooters show off their skills.
