Sevenoaks School Shooting Club has a strong reputation in competitive shooting. It is one of the most personally satisfying and rewarding sports on offer, yet is an activity that thrives on team cooperation and support. Our squad has produced over 16 County shooters, at least 20 National competitors and up to 9 members have represented International teams in the past three years alone.

Previous experience is not a requirement, however. Shooting is a sport that is easily accessible to all. The Hobbies group comprises all year groups. Everyone begins with .22 rifles and will learn the basic principles of marksmanship and range safety at school. Everyone is capable of having fun in this sport while being safe.

To progress onto bigger rifles and bullets it is expected that members work towards shooting for the School team. Sports options, for those selected for the team, are Monday, Tuesday and Saturday. Three weeks of the year are spent training at Bisley Camp with 7.62mm target rifles. We compete in the Schools Meeting, at Bisley, held every July. Last year we came 9th out of 50 in the Country and were the top team in the South East. There is also the opportunity to try black powder and other large calibre rifles on these training weeks. Work never comes without play in our team.

Come and satisfy your curiosity, don’t believe the newspapers, shooting is incredibly safe, fantastic fun and ultimately rewarding. You will be encouraged and coached to the highest standard possible. It is up to you how far you wish to go, all that is required is to turn up, practice, learn and ENJOY!
