Rifle Club

The University of St Andrews Rifle Club shoots both smallbore (.22″) and fullbore (7.62mm) Target Rifle at a local facility in St Andrews. The club participates in regional, national and international university league competitions, which gives our club the unique opportunity to travel throughout the UK. In the past, club members have participated in world-class competitions such as the Junior Commonwealth Games, World University Shooting Championships and the World University Games.
