Rifle shooting is a sport that demands great concentration, a strong mental approach, coupled with the ability to adjust to the conditions and a solid aim.

U.K. university clubs tend to shoot weekly at local shooting grounds or ranges in the afternoon/evenings and compete in various competitions throughout the year, including the annual BUCS Rifle championship events.

Though U.K. universities do ask anyone who doesn’t have their own license to complete a taster session before you will allow them to attend one of the shoots, for safety reasons.
