Club Information

Bassingbourn Rifle and Pistol Club (BRPC) is based at Bassingbourn Barracks near Royston in Cambridgeshire. The Club uses ranges at Bassingbourn Barracks, Barton Road near Cambridge and Bisley in Surrey.

BRPC is a Home Office Approved Club and is affiliated to the National Rifle Assocation (NRA) based at Bisley.

The aim of the Club is to "promote shooting as a safe and enjoyable sport".

We shoot at least once a month either on a Saturday or Sunday. The ranges allow club members to shoot all disciplines from 25m Black Powder Pistol (at The Isle Target Sports Club) to 600m plus Full Bore rifle.

The Club is affiliated to The Isle Target Sports Club who have their own range at Mepal. Currently this Club has a covered 25m range with 8 lanes for Black Powder, .22 Rimfire, and full-bore (maximum muzzle velocity is 3250 ft/sec). They also shoot shotgun and air rifle on an open range on the same site. Members of BRPC are welcome to visit The Isle Target Sports Club and pay the nominal sum of £2.00 per visit. Members of The Isle Target Sports Club are also welcome to shoot at BRPC meetings at Barton Road and pay a green fee of £5 but please check with the BRPC Secretary first as some shoots are for BRPC members only.

We try and shoot several competitions a year with the winners receiving trophies.
