About NTU Shooting

Welcome to our shooting club, where passion meets precision! Established in 2014, our club has grown into a vibrant community of shooting enthusiasts.

At our range on Derby Road, whether you’re picking up a rifle for the first time or refining your aim we have all the resources here to support you. You'll learn the fundamentals of safe shooting practices and have the opportunity to take your skills to the next level by participating in competitions both in person and by post.

We've had the privilege of hosting over 1,000 members in the past, and although our numbers have fluctuated, we're proud to still have a dedicated core of 50-180 members who regularly join us at the range.

Together, we create a fun and supportive environment that's perfect for anyone looking to improve their marksmanship or connect socially with like-minded individuals.

“This club kept me into shooting at uni - its friendly, supportive environment is great for both beginners and experienced members”
