Entry Requirement:

  • Shooter Certification Card (SCC): Each civilian shooting on a MoD or NRA range has to carry a SCC issued by the chairman of a club of which they are a member and which is affiliated to the NRA. Attendees MUST be in possession of their SCC when shooting on NRA ranges. For our 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
  • This course is open to members of Home Office Approved Clubs (HOAC) who are not prohibited under section 21 of the Firearms Act (The NRA is the largest HOAC in the UK). Non-NRA members are welcome, but are required to pay the Non-Member Fee (£11.00)
  • On the first day of the course you must be aged 14 or over (please contact the event co-ordinator before entering if this is not the case)

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
