Southampton University Rifle Club is one of the most successful University rifle clubs in the country. Our main discipline is .22 prone target rifle, which we shoot at a 20-yard range not far from campus. We also shoot fullbore (7.62x51mm), at distances up to 1000 yards regularly in the summer/easter season. This year, we are also expanding our disciplines to include Gallery Rifle and more types of prone target rifle.

We were recently victorious in BUCS fullbore, winning the Universities Short Range (300-600 yards) and the Universities Aggegrate, and then achieving second place in the Universities Long Range match (900-1000 yards). Many of our shooters compete in County teams and also go on to shoot for inter-area, national and even international sides. Before COVID-19, we had earned the university the most BUCS points out of every sports team for 3 years running, raising our profile within the university and also across the UK

We accept all levels of experience, including complete novices. We have a number of qualified instructors who will be able to safley get you into the sport, and then train you to be a competitive shot. This year we are looking forward to growing the club and welcoming those of all abilities to come and try something new, as well as expanding the number of shooting disciplines we offer!
