Entry Requirement:

  • Membership: This event is open to NRA Members. Shooters from other Home Office Approved Clubs are welcome but are required to pay the Non-Member Fee
  • Shooter Certification Card (SCC): Attendees must have an SCC from their Club, for Skills Courses you are only required to have a valid SCC, it does not need to be authorised for the type of firearm you will be using
  • Age: On the first day of the Competition you must be aged 14 or over - please contact the Competitions Team before entering if this is not the case

Firearms & Ammunition: As LBP and LBRs cannot be loaned, you are required to bring your personal LBP, LBR or airsoft/ air pistol if you own one. There will be NRA Air Revolvers available to use for students who do not possess a suitable firearm

Shooter Certification Card (SCC) Assessment: If you are an NRA Member and wish to add "Short Range Pistol" to your SCC you can undertake an assessment during the event. There is no additional fee, but you will need to advise us when booking that you would like to do the assessment. Non-Members can take the same assessment, and will be presented with a certificate of attendance. Your Club Chairman may then decide to authorise “Short Range Pistol” to be added to your SCC
