The change to the law that effectively banned pistol shooting led to many of our members taking up Lightweight Sport Rifle (LWSR) shooting as an alternative. More recently, the introduction of the "Longarm" .22 pistols, and their acceptance by both the shooting authorities and the Police, have led to some of our members taking up these.
At Ruislip, we cater for those that want to shoot Lightweight Sport Rifle at 20 yards. We have 3 firing points for shooting from a standing position, shared between LWSR, Longarm Pistol, Air Rifle and Air Pistol shooters.
We provide the facilities, equipment and instruction to allow anyone to start shooting. As you improve, you will reach a point where you recognise the need to have your own equipment that is not shared with other club members. We can guide you through the buying process and ensure that you don't make an expensive mistake.
How to start
Before you can start to shoot, you will need to join the Club. If you decide within the first month that you don't want to continue, we will cancel your membership and refund your fee, minus a £5.00 charge. When you join, you will have Provisional membership. You will be asked to keep a record of your attendances on your membership card. After 6 months, your membership will be reviewed, and if you have shown that you have attended regularly and have been instructed successfully in the various aspects of shooting, including acting safely and responsibly at all times, you will be given Full membership. If you have not met the conditions above, you may be asked to remain a provisional member for a further period, or (in extreme cases) your membership may be revoked. This process may be relaxed, at the discretion of the management committee, for FAC holders with suitable references from another Club.
