What do I need?

NRA members are welcome to attend, as are Non-NRA members providing they are a full member of a Home Office approved club affiliated to the NRA. An additional membership fee of £7.25 will be applicable to Non-members.

Gallery Rifles: You can attend even if you are not yet in possession of a suitable rifle – although we do encourage you to bring your own so you can become more proficient with it. Rifles can be hired in advance via this booking form, these will be brought to the range for you.

Long-Barrelled Pistol or Revolver: If you are in possession of an LBP or LBR the course will be suitable for you, we do not however hire out these firearms.

Ammunition and firearms are not included - attendees are expected to bring their own.
