Club/building insurance.

Can anybody recommend insurance companies that will cover the building/structure of privately owned (indoor, H.O. approved) shooting premises? The 3rd party side of things is covered by the NSRA affiliation (apparently?). Somebody mentioned Bluefin, but that just seems to be for football clubs (??) .... not exactly what I'm looking for.
Trying to get an answer from anybody at the club regarding previous building policies has just met with blank stares. Reading between the lines, I'm not even sure if we had any insurance previously.
I haven't tried any of the obvious choices yet - Churchill, Direct Line etc etc. Is that an option? All and any info will be gratefully received.

Try Hiscox.
Bluefin do do firearms related insurance but are ridiculously expensive.
Firearms related insurance is getting more and more difficult and most just say no!
Evidently it is currently a "hard market"(?) and brokers are really struggling to get underwriters to underwrite anything that is not run of the mill.
I used to use Besso for my premises insurance, but was told this year they wouldn't continue as the underwriters were wanting just stupid premiums for firearms related stuff.

Bluefin cover buildings and contents also for shooting clubs, ours is with Bluefin and they are very good when we have needed to claim.

You're not wrong, my last home contents cover provider cancelled my policy when I tried to add my more expensive guns as listed items!

Yes, I've just found out that Bluefin does the various insurance covers for the NSRA. It would have helped if the treasurer had told me that to start off with, but every day is a school day!
