DUCAC Handbook paragraph on DURC: There has been a rifle club in TCD since 1840. The modern club, now in its 40th year, shoots air rifles and .22 calibre target rifles at paper targets. Competitions range from internal club competitions to the Olympics. All levels of experience from absolute beginner onwards are welcome and rapid progression is not unusual - many DURC members have won National Championships. This is a sport where women have a distinct advantage, where age does not matter and whose safety record is equalled only by the chess club.
