Men, women and juniors can all take part and enjoy this very demanding, but rewarding discipline. Rugeley, as a club, 4 years ago did not have any members who were taking this part of the sport seriously. At that time the club decided, as a way to stimulate shooting in the area, to introduce air gun competitive target shooting at 10 meters range and were very pleased to see the uptake. The result some 4 years later is that members of Rugeley Rifle Club represent over 50% of the county team and one member now shoots for England! This activity in the club is the fastest growing and has proved a stimulus for airgun members to also take up 0.22" rimfire disciplines with considerable success. |
