Thorn Bisley Dates 2026

The Thorn group shoots monthly at Bisley. They book a single lane for a morning, so, whilst they welcome other VAA members, spaces are limited. Members are kindly asked to contact the Club Secretary for dates and availability.

 

 

Rose Hill Date 2026

We will be shooting at Rose Hill Farm, near Kenton, Suffolk, on Saturday 31st January 2026, 13:00hrs till 18:00hrs.
 
The range hire fee of £250 would be shared between those attending, with numbers limited to a maximum of eight.
This is a 100 metre indoor range, so weather should not be a problem. Capping attendance at eight means no need for squadding, so everyone can have a good day’s shoot in a relaxing atmosphere, with good onsite facilities for comfort and refreshment.
 
 
 

Jersey Branch Dates 2026 TO BE CONFIRMED

Shooting dates for 2026 on the Crabbe ranges:
Every Thursday afternoon 1:30-4:00 pistol calibres up 12-50 metres on the Crabbe pistol range.
Every Saturday morning 10:30-1:00 with all firearms on the main Crabbe rifle range, course of fire to be decided on the day, usually 20m to 300m. 
There will be a few exceptions when other clubs take our place, but we are sometimes only notified at the last minute, so it is best to ring our President or Secretary for the latest news.  

Please note that the pistol range is undercover and all-weather.
The main Crabbe range is quite exposed, and shooting can be weather dependent.
