Durham University Rifle Club

DURC is a friendly and inclusive target rifle shooting club hosting both Fullbore and Smallbore shooting disciplines as part of Team Durham. Smallbore shooting is our most common discipline and involves firing live .22 rimfire calibre rounds at distances from 25 up to 100 yards. DURC holds weekly training sessions in our dedicated range where members have access to all the kit, rifles and ammunition they need to improve their shooting ability. DURC also offers its members the opportunity to shoot Fullbore target rifle, which consists of firing .308 calibre projectiles at distances ranging from 300 to 1000 yards! DURC runs termly trips to the National Shooting Centre, Bisley in Surrey which is the most comprehensive and well-equipped venue for Fullbore shooting in the country. Historically, these trips have proved to be hugely successful, spurring on members to enter national competitions in the summer. Our team has seen success in BUCS competition, most recently with members placing in the top 50 nationally in postal league competitions. Furthermore, DURC is home to members who shoot for GBU25, national and county level which provide the club with a wealth of knowledge and experience that can be passed on to our new and existing members.
