The aim of these sessions is to learn and practise the skills required to enjoy target rifle shooting in a safe and friendly environment. The sport is also recognised as an important discipline by the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme and is proving more popular every year.  Shooting can be incorporated into all three levels of the scheme with pupils learning Rifle Safety, Range Management, Marksmanship skills and concluding with a formal exam.

Pupils who reach the required standard are given the opportunity to join the school’s 1st squad, and to participate in Scottish, British, and Commonwealth competitions throughout the year.  The first two terms are spent primarily on Small-bore (indoor) shooting, with the focus of the third term on Full-bore (outdoor) shooting, culminating in July with the Ashburton competition, a meeting of all British C.C.F.’s at Bisley; Dollar won this in 2005. The school’s elite then shoot the Imperial Meeting, which include the best shots world-wide.
