Shooting Organisations & Proof Houses
To make the very most of your chosen sport, contact with other shooters, of similar interests, will help you to become more involved with shooting disciplines. Alternatively, meeting shooters with different interests to your own may open up new horizons. Such will open up endless possibilities to allow you to improve your shooting abilities. Although membership of many of the shooting organisations are voluntary, if should be remembered that for target shooting with Section 1 weapons, it is a legal requirement to belong to a Home Office approved rifle or muzzle-loading club.
