Young shots days are aimed at those of you between the ages of 9 and 17 inclusive (12 to 17 Progression Days) that have just started shooting or who are about to take up the sport, and are aimed at teaching safe and responsible shooting and demonstrating its place in the countryside. Places are limited so early booking is essential. If you would like to bring a friend, we would be delighted provided they are booked in and we have their details, they do not need to be BASC members.
You can expect to learn about such things as safe gun handling and the law relating to shotguns and air rifles.

You will be given practical tuition in using shotguns and the opportunity to hit some clay pigeons, similarly you will be able to use, under tuition, state of the art air rifles firing at knockover field targets.
The cost of each day is £20 per person (except for the Progression Day which is £50), which includes all tuition, clays, cartridges, use of guns, etc.
The Progression Day is aimed at Young Shots who have attended at least two Young Shots' activity days and wish to further improve their shooting skills.
