Bisley National Rifle Meeting
A unique venue, a shared experience, a challenging shoot. The Bisley National Rifle Meeting, there’s nothing quite like it!
The Bisley National Rifle Meeting is part of the fabric of small-bore shooting in the UK and a truly unique experience featuring a weekend and/or week of competitive shooting and socialising. Once a year the small-bore shooting community gathers to share stories, catch up and exchange ideas, either individually or at club level, as well as engage in competition. It’s a valuable time to learn, grow and improve your skills & knowledge, and whatever happens you’ll be guaranteed to have tales to tell for years to come!
It’s the only chance you’ll get in the UK to encounter large numbers of competitors of each shooting class on the firing point at the same time, it’s a great way to test yourself against your peers and learn from them. Many of the top-class shooters will spend the whole year working towards Bisley Week, buying equipment and batch testing ammo, all building up to the middle of August. You may get the chance to talk with some of the best small-bore shooters in the country and gain some tips and tricks in the process!
If you’re looking for a challenge, shooting at Bisley week is for you! Century Range provides a multi-pronged challenge with the mirage, thought-provoking wind conditions and occasionally, interesting weather. It is a great competition leveller, helping you gain new skills and making you a better shooter.
If you’re interested in entering the Bisley National Rifle Meeting but finding it a daunting task, don’t be put off! We’re here to help with all aspects of your Bisley experience and want you to have the best time. This event typically opens for entries in March and closes by mid June.
Our handy guide covers all the basics and if you’re finding the entry form a bit scary, but don’t have anyone to ask, then our Competitions Team can help.
There are accommodation options available on site (including camping) which can be arranged via the NRA and the surrounding areas have some fabulous restaurants and pubs, perfect for taking it easy, and sitting down with friends over a drink or some food, exchanging stories of the day. There are also many social events that take place with multiple club houses and restaurants open throughout the week, if you’d rather stay on-site.
Once you’ve arrived, you’ll find our wonderful staff and volunteers can assist you with any queries. Our Bisley Buggy Crew will even transport you and your kit to the range, so that’s one less thing to worry about.
Join us, bring your friends and help support this fantastic event and celebration of small-bore shooting, during the height of the English summer!
