Open to all
Whether you have never picked up a rifle or have already competed nationally, you are welcome in CURA. New shooters can learn the basics with our smallbore sister club CUSBC before the fullbore season.
Membership
Open to all members of Cambridge University
Start your fullbore season with CURA
CURA membership is open to all members of Cambridge University in statu pupillariwho have been deemed competent at smallbore shooting. Your membership form will also need to be signed by your tutor. Membership is currently £50 per year, excluding ammunition, and includes use of the club’s rifles, jackets, scopes and other equipment.
You do not need previous fullbore experience. New shooters can join our smallbore sister club CUSBC during Michaelmas and Lent to learn the basics before CURA’s fullbore season begins with the Easter Bisley training camp.
CURA can be the start of an exceptional sporting journey. Alice Good (GM), who first took up shooting with CURA, won HM The Queen’s Prize in 2022.
Questions about joining can be sent to secretary@curifle.org.uk.
