Welcome
to the BFTO
|
|
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.
