We shoot Smallbore at the Denwood Target shooting Range twice a week (Wednesday and Saturday) with indoor at 25 yards in the winter and outdoor at 50m and 100 yards later on in the year, we also shoot fullbore at Glen Tilt in the summer as part of Scottish Student Sport. As a club we compete in both home and away university competitions under the Auspices of SSS and BUCS, as well as postal leagues on a local and national level covering ADSRA, SSRA and the NSRA. We also provide opportunities to travel to National championships from time to time, such as BUCS (Indoor and Outdoor) as well as the Scottish Smallbore Championships, and now and again even meets at Bisley. The club regularly places well in both the SSS and BUCS events, having been BUCS champions several times in the last Decade and Coming second at the Indoor Championships this year as well as placing/winning several SSS events each year.

Both universities also have active clay pigeon clubs who shoot on saturdays throughout the year and travel to several away shoots over the Academic year. Both clubs shoot at the Seal's Cove Clay Ground which is located just to the south of Aberdeen.
I am no expert on the matter of Chemistry, but I am lead to believe that Aberdeen offers a high level of academic attainment in the field of Chemistry if that is of any help.
If however this does not take your fancy, I can put you in touch with the relevant Captains of the Glasgow, Edinburgh or St Andrews clubs.
If you have any questions about our clubs please feel free to ask.
Interesting - I should be attending RGU starting in Sept this year.

Its sees even this simple thread has had a little benefit putting some in contact with each other - & poss moderators there should be a permanent thread on Cadet, Uni, Youth & School shooting? You are the future of this sport.

If Zedly is considering going into science then she is likely to benefit from going to a University with a well reputed course that is higher in the league tables. Especially when it comes to employment in the industry. Check the university rankings then cross ref with rifle clubs. Fyi the mighty Exeter does to biology with medicinal chemistry. She may need to develop her lash a bit first though. A london uni could work rather well. Imperial has a club and there is ulrc (who were responsible for the cage incidence). Both are good clubs with regular bisleying and a transport link via brookwood.
