As Furrybean, Roy W and Justin say, the Dorset Riflemen is a club where the shooting standard is very high. The downside is, although I like to think we are a friendly bunch, there isn’t a lot of time to bring on new members with little experience because our main club day is always an F Class competition, and we are predominantly an F Class club.
We do have a practice day once a month and they alternate between Bisley and a 100 yard range near Lulworth.
I don’t meant to put you off but to start long range I suggest your best bet is to join one or more smaller clubs who are more geared up to introducing someone to long range shooting ( up to 1000 yards) and if that hooks you in enrol in the GBFCA course or one of those mentioned by Furrybean.
Then you’ll be ready for the Dorset’s.
Otherwise, there are two Oxford based clubs, Ridgeway and Harwell. If they take your fancy and you can’t find contacts by Google I can point you at their secretarys.
Thanks for the input, I’ve emailed Ridgeway and am waiting to hear back.

Is there a specific reason you want to join ODRC?
As mentioned by others there are other clubs to choose from and some smaller ones make it easy for new members. Ridgeway Firearms Club, one that was Secretary of until lack of time meant I had to pass on the banner, is based in Oxford and has access to ranges close to you. They also have regular monthly shoots at Bisley.
The only reason was the Warminster range was fairly close to me. I shall have a look at Ridgeway, thank you very much.

That’s great thank you I’ll have a look. By long range I’d be happy to get to 1000 yards.

Hi everyone,
could anybody recommend any clubs in the south (I’m in Salisbury) for long range shooting?
I'm completely new to long range and I’m not a member to any shooting clubs so don’t know anybody else in the discipline.
I come from a hunting background and hold a FAC.
thanks in advance

I’ve been messaging Simon and it’s seems i can’t attend A range and observe as I wouldn’t be aloud on the range as I’m not a member.
im guessing this is a common problem for someone new to long range shooting.
I think I’m going to have to try elsewhere which is disappointing.
-
Thanks for the reply, yes already hold an FAC.
im based near Salisbury so Warminster is the closest for me. Don’t mind travelling further afield occasionally but Warminster would be the regular range.

Hi everyone I’m looking for some advice on joining the ODRC.
I’ve emailed about joining and had a response but need a signature from a full member. Being new to long range shooting I don’t know anyone that does it and therefore don’t know any members.
any advice on how I can meet any current members and get the signature I need?
thanks in advance

Hi everyone,
can anyone help? I’ve recently ordered a bt20 rail but it came with no screws? Does anyone know where I can get screws that will fit?
Thanks
