About us

We won Most Improved Club of the Year for 2017/18 but we are not resting on our laurels, this year there will be more sessions, competitions and socials than ever before! This really is the best time to be joining our club. At WURC you will receive one-on-one support for all the disciplines we offer, as well as invites to training weekends and a whole host of exciting events including the British Young Shooters Association Weekends, Clay Pigeon Outings, Charity Air Rifle Sessions and Warwick University Martial Arts and Target Sports Socials, plus much more. Just come along to our taster sessions or contact us on Facebook/email to find out more.
