About Buxted Rifle & Pistol Club

The indoor rifle range is located in the village opposite Buxted mainline railway station. The shooting club has been an intrinsic part of the Buxted community for many decades.
Historically, as an NSRA affiliated small-bore rifle and pistol club, Buxted ARPC has always achieved a respectable level of competitive success. The HFT venue is located 5 minutes away.

What is Hunter Field Target?

Legislative change adversely impacted on many clubs nationally. Fortunately, a dedicated core of shooters ensured continued interest within the village and the surrounding area.
Primarily a rim fire range, advances in airgun technology have developed air weapons capable of competing with their rim fire counterparts in many aspects of modern target sports. This has broadened the club’s appeal to many more airgun shooting enthusiasts, especially those participating in Hunter Field Target Shooting, an offshoot of formal FT shooting.

HFT is an organised target shooting activity intended to replicate rough hunting. Open to any responsible airgun owner, regardless of age or ability, virtually any safe, UK legal air rifle is suitable for use.

Popular world wide, UKAHFT is the governing body for HFT in the UK. As a UKAHFT affiliated club, Buxted has an extremely healthy HFT membership, especially juniors, making it the envy of many of its peers.

Buxted has a picturesque but deceptively difficult HFT ground, hosting regular club opens and rounds of the Southern Hunter and Sussex Interclub Series.

The HFT team actively participates in local, national and world events and achieved success as Sussex’s Interclub Champions.

The club’s 25-yard indoor airgun bench-rest team often excel in many classes of the annual UKBR22 World Postal Championships. They finished as reigning World Champions, in all three airgun postal classes in one season, with individual members achieving top ranks as well. Some airgun bench shooters have represented the UK at international level, holding future aspirations to compete in the outdoor and rim fire arenas.

The club committee are keen to promote a diversity of shooting related social activities for the benefit of members. Club events are well attended with most nights of the week occupied. The latest being IPAS, Iron Plate Action Shooting, an addictive, entertaining quick fire action distraction, using semi-auto CO2 pistols, that’s proving highly popular with shooters of all ages. 

That’s Buxted Shooting Club, not bad for a little village located in a backwoods of the Sussex countryside.
