History

The King’s College School Old Boys’ Rifle Club has been in existence since 1932 and was originally conceived and brought into being by Sgt Major Harry Lee who was a great enthusiast for excellence in shooting sports. These have much to be proud of and form a significant part of our heritage. In the 1998 and 2002 Commonwealth Games shooting accounted for over 25% of all medals won by England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, and in the 2004 Olympics shooting was again well represented in the tally of medals for Britain.

The Rifle Club is open to all and run by people who are keen to offer the chance to try and enjoy all of the various disciplines presently available. The Club meets regularly to practice and to compete in Club and National competitions, and is based at the Surrey Rifle Association on Bisley Camp near Woking in Surrey where we do most of our shooting. Bisley is also the home of the National Rifle Association and of the Imperial international shooting competition, held every July, and in 2002 the shooting competitions of the Commonwealth Games.

Club disciplines include Target Rifle, Action Rifle, Gallery Rifle and Shotgun. Not every discipline suits everyone but there is a lot to do and plenty of variety to choose from.

New members are fully welcome from all disciplines including rifle, shotgun and heritage weapons.
