Target Shotgun Skills Course: Saturday 22nd November

This one day Skills Development Course will provide the fundamental skills for taking part in Target Shotgun (TS) events and competitions. The day comprised of both classroom and practical range work, with expert coaching from national and international level shooters on topics including types of firearms, equipment and positional shooting techniques

Entry Fee: TBC (40% discount off entry fee for those that are under 25 years old on the day of the Event)

Firearms & Ammunition: These are not included in the event fee, attendees are expected to bring their own. If not yet in possession of a suitable firearm attendees can have use of a shared NRA Target Shotgun for the day, and purchase sufficient ammunition alongside their entry. Both will be issued on the range by the Instructor

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 Meeting Member Fee
  • 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
