The Association has its origins in the small rifle club of the Cambridge University Rifle Volunteers (formed 1803) which continued to expand until 1907 when it was officially incorporated as a Rifle Club and affiliated to the National Rifle Association. In 1909, the present Association was formed by an amalgamation of the Rifle Club and the Revolver Club (established 1902). The Cambridge University Officer Training Corps, with whom the Association has always had close links, was recognised as providing the University's marksmen for Varsity matches until 1933 when an amendment to the rules allowed both Corps and non-Corps members of the Association to be eligible to represent the University. The Association's annual training event is the week-long Easter practice at Bisley Camp, near Woking. The Association is the parent body of the Small Bore, Revolver and Pistol and Long Range Rifle Clubs, their memberships frequently overlapping.
