Thorn Bisley Dates 2025
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.
Jersey Branch Dates 2025 TO BE CONFIRMED
Shooting dates for 2025 on the Crabbe ranges:
Every Thursday afternoon 2:00-4:00 pistol calibres up to 50 metres on the JPC pistol range.
Every Saturday morning 10:30-1:00 with all firearms on the main JRA range, course of fire to be decided on the day, usually 20m to 200m.
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 JRA range is quite exposed, and shooting can be weather dependent.
