RANGE HIRE AT BISLEY

Providing you are a member of BASC, we as an affiliated member of the NRA can book ranges on your behalf without the need for you to be a member of the NRA. These bookings have to be made through us, as they will no longer accept bookings from individual members. BASC are not responsible for any range hire charges or costs and by booking you will have to abide by all the NRA rules and regulations currently in force. On arriving at Bisley you will have to book in at the Range Office and Pay the Range Hire Charges. There is no limit to the number of visits you may make to the ranges providing they are pre booked through BASC.  BASC make no extra charge for this service.

Refreshments are available on the camp and it is possible to book overnight accommodation, hire firearms your FAC permitting and buy ammunition. Two gunshops are on the camp, Fultons who specialise in everything rifle and Tony Kennedy with a very large selection of shotguns and clothing.
