Merchiston has a long history of target rifle shooting and has its own indoor range within the school grounds. The disciplines of small and full-bore shooting are both catered for and include outdoor domestic competitions culminating in the Ashburton at Bisley (pictured left) at the start of each summer holidays.

In recent years we have been more successful indoors with our VIII, winning the Country Life competition and a number of our shooters representing Scotland in the annual Home International Postal Match.

We have also enjoyed modest success at the Bisley Schools Meeting with the award of individual silver spoons in the Wellington and Iveagh competitions.
