There are still some Shooter Certification cards awaiting collection from Pinewood.

All Bisley fixtures for 2026 have now been confirmed,  so the dates and ranges published on the "Fixtures" page are now final.

Please be on the lookout for a forthcoming Home Office consultation on section 2 firearms (shotguns). This consultation is looking to gather support for changing section 2 status to section 1 - ie more regulation and higher costs, with potentially all the extra restrictions applicable to S1 then applying to S2  :-  ammunition quantity controls and secure storage of cartridges all the way through the supply chain, nominated slots on your shotgun certificate, club/land usage restrictions etc

In the meantime it's worth signing this petition to express your objection with any proposal to combine S2 and S1

Do not merge section 1 & 2 regulations on firearms licenses - Petitions 

The debate resulting from this petition has now taken place, generally speakers were in favour of NOT merging S2 & S1, but the government minister at the end appeared to be desperately searching for some weasels on the subject.  Here's a link to the debate on YouTube

TFSA is looking at starting some Running Deer shoots at Bisley, see   The British Sporting Rifle Club  for details, the first shoot will be some time in early spring (TBD) but initially will be on a weekday. This initial weekday shoot will be self funding, it will be limited to around 6~8 people, and the cost should work out at ~ £15 per head. If anybody is interested in taking part in this then please talk to JohnN. In the fullness of time it is hoped to run this one Sunday, but initially will be a weekday.
