Fife and Kinross Fullbore Rifle Club shoots at the Blairadam range on Lochran Farm near Ballingry south of Kinross. The range at Blairadam was set up during the Napoleon III invasion scare of the 1870's. It was a volunteer's range providing training facilities for various organisations and has been in continual use since 1876.
Following a long and illustrious history, during which it provided a training facility for the Boer War, two World Wars and the Korean war, it passed into civilian hands in 1993 when the Blairadam Shooting Association was formed. Fife and Kinross Fullbore Rifle Club is a founder member of the Blairadam Shooting Association and enjoys guaranteed access to the Blairadam Range.
