NRA Shooters Certification
Following on from our MOD Introduction and Assessment training, we offer training for our members that want to shoot unsupervised Altcar. Once the shooter holds an NRA shooter Certification, they are able to shoot at many other venues unsupervised.
Certification is run by the club.
First Aid
We aim to make our sports as safe as possible. Part of this is to train and provide First Aid cover at the range and is mandated at MOD ranges.
Courses are run by professional accredited trainers.
