Suspension of Civilian Shooting – Bisley Rifle Ranges and NCSC

 

In response to the instructions from Government announced this evening we have suspended, with immediate effect, all civilian shooting on rifle and shotgun ranges operated by the National Shooting Centre at Bisley.

To support the armed and emergency forces, military and police firearms training on Bisley ranges will continue as planned.

NRA / NSC staff will continue to provide assistance by telephone, email and post during normal office hours, Monday to Friday.

This suspension will be subject to constant review; further updates will be posted to the NRA website and Facebook page.

We wish all of the shooting community, their families and friends continued good health and fortitude whilst navigating through these truly exceptional circumstances. We will endure the difficult days ahead confident in the knowledge that we will welcome you back to Bisley soon.
