Why Small-Bore Rifle Shooting?

Small-bore rifle target shooting - how hard can it be - after all you don't have the heavens opening up on you, no crosswinds to contend with, no flinch inducing blasts and recoil. There you are lying indoors on a comfy mat aiming at a well-lit static target with as much time as you want - doesn't sound like much of a challenge does it?

I like S/B target shooting precisely because of the reasons above and the challenge that comes from trying to be consistently good at it.

You will not experience an adrenaline rush during S/B target shooting (unless you are very easily excited) but you will feel a sense of achievement as your scores improve knowing that you've had to deploy and develop various skills such as breathing control, concentration and a calm mental approach, all of which can also help in other forms of shooting.

Sounds Worthy But Is It Fun?

Yes!

We run various competitions, leagues and an annual championship. We have taken part in postal leagues and have even been known to compete against other clubs.

I'd Like To Have A Go But I'd Never Win Anything

Not true.

We run a handicap league were an individuals improvement is measured not their absolute prowess with a shooting iron.

When And Where?

Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays. The range is located in Shoreditch, about 10 minutes walk from Liverpool Street station.

What's It Gonna Cost Guv?

Virtually nothing.

.22 rimfire ammunition is very cheap and all the necessary equipment is supplied by the club.

What Do I Do Next?

I'd have a cup of tea if I were you and then contact the  Membership Secretary.
