Spectators/friends are only allowed under special circumstances. Please speak to Pete for an explanation.
- What insurance do you require?
-
Affiliation to any of the shooting or countryside organisations that give you third party liability insurance for shooting sports is fine.
In effect, you join up and your membership gives you the insurance you need to shoot.
We strongly recommend the BASC membership (basc.org.uk) however here are links to several other associations/organisations.
- BASC basc.org.uk - These guys do all they can to promote and protect shooting sports. Highly recommended
