Target Shotgun Festival

Sunday 9th March: Practical Match including multi-positional shooting, which forms a round of the Yearly NRA Shotgun League. As the stages are constructed the day prior, there is no published course of fire, but previous festivals have recommended bringing 75-100 rounds of Birdshot, and 26-35 rounds of Slug ammunition. The match takes half a day, and you can book for either the morning or afternoon (depending on availability). More details onf the NRA Shotgun League can be found HERE


Entry Requirements:

  • Shooter Certification Card (SCC): All shooters MUST be in possession of their SCC when shooting on NRA ranges. This is awarded to NRA Members, or by a Club Chairperson (of NRA affiliated Clubs) once a shooter has satisfied criteria as to the shooter’s ability to use firearms and ammunition safely. If not in possession of an SCC, shooters may apply for a temporary SCC by emailing competitions@nra.org.uk
  • NRA Membership: Membership to the NRA is required to shoot on NSC Ranges,  and ensures the individual is covered by the NRA insurance package. Non-NRA members are welcome, but are required to pay an additional Non-Member Fee
  • On the first day of the Competition you must be aged 14 or over (please contact the Competition Co-ordinator before entering if this is not the case)

  • Sunday: Butt Zero Left, Centre and Right Bay: Practical Shotgun Match requiring an events team to deliver the dynamic courses of fire under the direction of the on range match director, typically 2 volunteers per bay
