Welcome to the Probationary Training Programme for novice shooters!

 

ABOUT THE COURSE

This programme is comprised of 6 training modules designed to help you develop the skills and confidence you need to shoot independently, with a club and to enter competitions.

Module 1 will introduce you to:

  •          The basics of handling firearms
  •          Principles of marksmanship

 

You will leave the day:

  •          Feeling comfortable with the basics of firearms handling

This is a full day course, from 0830 - 1630, with a mixture of classroom and on-range practical exercises.

Joining instructions with info on timings and location will be sent out around 2 weeks before the course date.
