Although the club was formed at the very end of 1985, it was to be the 1986/7 winter season before the members began to compete independently of the Edinburgh University club, and since then Alumni teams have won many competitions. Initially we entered a number of local county leagues, including the Border Rifle League, Fife & Kinross, Perthshire and West of Scotland, but gradually interest in those waned as we moved more and more towards 3 positions and air rifle. We continue to support our "home" county of Lothian, along with the local Home Guard league, but most of our indoor competitive efforts are targeted at the National leagues run by the NSRA. Outdoors we have supported the various Scottish and British Championships, along with opening meetings across the UK. While competing in these competitions, club teams have set many Scottish and British records also.
In addition to team competitions, many club members have achieved notable results in domestic and international competitions. Club members have represented Scotland, England, Northern Ireland and Wales at various levels up to Commonwealth Games. Some members have also gone onto represent Great Britain up to World Championship level. We await our first Olympian!
Listed below are some of the highlights of the team and individual performances over the lifespan of the club.
