Bisley NRA - DUKKA Hut
The Dukka Hut is our clubhouse at Bisley and has showers, toilets and kitchen along with a large dining area and outside verandah seating which is very popular in the summer.
We hire bays on the Melville range at Bisley for shooting at distances up to 50 metres with gallery rifle, long-barrelled revolver and muzzle-loading pistol. For higher power rifles, muzzle-loading rifles and black powder cartridge rifles, we hire targets for shooting at distances from 100 to 1,000 yards. From March to November we usually have one gallery rifle/muzzle-loading pistol and one full-bore rifle shoot per month.
- We also have occasional bookings on the Running Boar and Deer ranges but these are usually mid-week owing to the high demand for their use at weekends by the British Sporting Rifle Club who own the range.
- At the end of the year, we have a Christmas shoot which consists of a fun competition in the morning and a Christmas meal in the Dukka Hut in the afternoon.
- The club is affiliated to the National Rifle Association (NRA), the British Sporting Rifle Club (BSRC) and the Surrey Rifle Association (SRA).
