About the club

Clay Pigeon Shooting is inclusive to all genders and levels of experience, and we welcome enquiries from those with a disability regarding the accessibility of Clay Pigeon Shooting. The club offers fortnightly practice sessions and competitive opportunities against Cambridge in an annual Varsity and against other universities at BUCS. Clay Pigeon Shooting also runs an inter-college competition.

We aim to make clay shooting as accessible & affordable as possible. We provide a safe, friendly & relaxed atmosphere in which to try the sport. For those that continue shooting we run lots of practice sessions. Become part of our 30 year plus history.

The club offers multiple shooting opportunities. We organise taster sessions, hold regular practices, arrange coaching and take part in university competitions across the UK. The Varsity Match against Cambridge is a highlight.

Being part of the club allows you access to all the equipment needed for free, and regular shooting opportunities at a world class ground. Those shooting in the Varsity Match are also eligible for a half-blue. Social events also take place throughout the year.

All abilities welcome, from beginners to Olympians - join OUCPSC & get involved!
