Welcome,
this web site has been set up to provide information to potential
new members as well as existing members. The site will be developed
over time with the express aim of providing links to other sites
relevant to the noble sport of Air Rifle and Pistol shooting.
It is hoped that this will promote wider interest for both the
competitive and fun shooter alike. The Club provides a safe
and attractive open air environment where both paper and metal
silhouette targets can be shot. This can be made as simple or
as demanding as required by the individual shooter so as to
cater for the "plinking for pleasure" as well as the
more competitive shooters in the Club. We have some club guns
for visitors to use so you do not need your own gun to come
and have a look at what we do, in fact our advice to a complete
novice would normally be to come and have a go with the club
guns first, have a look at all the other setups that people
have, (ask nicely and most will let you have a go) maybe come
to one or two of the Club League competitions, and decide what you
want to do before spending any hard cash. Ask advice of other
members, most have been doing this a while, all will quite happily
chat about anything airgun. Actually, it's hard to stop some
of them!

To encourage
the competitive aspect of the sport the Club holds regular
summer Club League shoots, and as this is an all year round
sport the keenest of our members form teams to shoot a Winter
League which provides demanding competition with other Field
Target organisations in the region. As with other forms of
shooting, members are also able to participate in national
and international events.
The facilities at the club are excellent;
we have two floodlit rifle ranges with covered firing points,
a floodlit pistol and vintage rifle range also with covered
firing points, plus sixteen acres of woodland available for
competition courses. Full members can shoot on the covered
ranges 365 days of the year with the exception of one evening
in January when we close for our AGM. The centrally heated
clubhouse is available to full members at all times and has
free tea and coffee, a fridge and microwave. We have access
to proper, flush toilets, in a block just 50yds or so from
the clubhouse.
The club itself is situated within the grounds of The National
Shooting Centre, Bisley, meaning all of its clubs and facilities
are within easy reach. |
