Revolver & Pistol Club (CURPC)
Founded in 1902, Cambridge University Revolver and Pistol Club (CURPC) is the only club in Cambridge that shoots pistol.
Shooting ranks amongst Cambridge's oldest varsity sports and has links dating back to at least 1803 with the formation of the Cambridge University Rifle Volunteers. The University Revolver club was formed in 1902 and forged close links with the rifle club in 1909, which itself had been established as a University club two years earlier. The first varsity match between Oxford and Cambridge took place in 1908, and CURPC have continued to compete annually against Oxford up to this day.
The club currently relies on the membership subscriptions of £50 per year, which aims to cover range hire, insurance, coaching and the use and maintenance of the club’s air pistols and gallery rifles. Pellets and transportation for matches are paid separately.
CURPC would like to seek support to help meet the ongoing expenses so that we are able to purchase new equipment for the club and keep membership fees down so that cost does not deter potential members from joining.
