November 2012

The League is constantly on the look out for new members!

The cost of the sport is very reasonable with adult members at present paying a direct annual membership fee to the League of £30, whilst child membership is only £11, (please note that the fee includes third party liability insurance) and the individual clubs then add a minimal fee for their own running costs.  All the teams presently shooting are based in licensed premises which lends itself to the social side of the sport.
  
We also take pride in the fact that we can offer free on site coaching to all new members by our NSRA qualified club coaches.
 

The first year's membership is absolutely free and new members can borrow club rifles.... so all you need is pellets!  


If you are interested in trying a new sport/hobby please come along to one of our listed club venues on a Monday or Thursday night, or contact  us for more information.... everyone is welcome as no previous experience with air rifles is required!

To view club venues go to About us and click on Teams.  We look forward to meeting you........






November 2012



The Bridgend & District Air Rifle League are also looking for new teams....

We would be very interested to hear from anyone within a 15 mile radius of Bridgend Cenotaph who could;

  • form a group of at least 10 members to compete on a Monday & Thursday evening during September through to and including April

  • find a venue (a room in a pub, club, village hall etc.) with a minimum floor space of 26ft+ long, by 12ft+ wide which could be closed off from the general  public


The League would be happy to offer advice and support in obtaining a target on loan.  An air rifle could possibly be made available for the first season also.


Why not ask your local landlord? Monday nights are usually very quiet and a new air rifle team could bring at least 20 people onto their premises!

If you are interested or require any further information please don't hesitate to contact us!

The League would be more than happy to bring a target and air rifle along to any perspective team venue for a trial.

gata children


A group of children Gata put through the NSRA Youth Proficiency Scheme being presented with their certificates by the Chief Inspector of The Armed Responce Unit, South Wales Police, at their firing range in Bridgend.  Although it was Gata ( Glamorgan Air Target Association ) who ran the course, the NSRA qualified instructors were and still are all members of the Bridgend & District Air Rifle League.
