The
Club opened its first range, near the Village Hall, in 1909, so recording a long association with the Chobham community. It moved to its current location in
1927 with the help of local craftsmen who volunteered their labour to construct
the present clubhouse and range. Whilst the origins of the Club are firmly
established in small-bore (.22") rifle shooting and have historical links with the 'Home Guard' -
today members can also enjoy a variety of other shooting disciplines as well
including .177" air rifle & air pistol and sporting rifle
disciplines at the facilities in Chobham.
The Bisley shooting complex
near Brookwood, Surrey is only a short distance away housing the National Shooting Centre
with the
country's largest complex of civilian shooting ranges. A set of
international ranges was built to hold the shooting disciplines for the
Commonwealth Games in 2002. It is also the home of the
National Rifle Association,
National Small-bore Rifle Association and
Clay Pigeon Association. Chobham Rifle Club members have opportunities to shoot
full-bore and shotgun disciplines on the Bisley ranges.
