We offer multiple shooting opportunities at a number of respected grounds across Hampshire including Spitfire Shoot, Wallers Ash and Ower Shooting Ground, at least once a week. The society also competes in inter-university fixtures such as the Oxford Challenge, St Andrews Challenge, Bristol Competition, BUCS and Varsity.
Membership allows access to all the equipment, regular shooting opportunities, subsidised cartridges and tuition, and weekly social events throughout the year.
