Both will be issued on the range by the Instructor

Shooter Certification Card (SCC) Assessment:

If you are an NRA Member and wish to add "Target Shotgun" to your SCC you can undertake an assessment during the course. 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 “Target Shotgun” to be added to your SCC
