Anschutz .22 target rifle
Basic instruction in shooting is offered to all visitors and new members when they first come to shoot. This is so that they can both learn to shoot safely without endangering either themselves or others and so that they can make rapid progress without becoming discouraged. The amount of instruction that a person needs to get started is quite small, so newcomers should not be put off having a go, it is not like learning to drive a car.
The club has a range of 'how to do it' books and videos for members use. These are very useful for anyone wishing to pick up tips and advice from expert shooters.
Throughout the year formal 5 part instruction courses are offered to any member who wishes to take part. There is no charge for this course and it is given by a qualified member of the club. The five parts are:
1) Position ... the importance of determining and taking the correct position relative to the target.
2) Firing ... the actual firing of the gun, its co-ordination with the aiming picture.
3) Sighting part 1 ... the first part of a complex subject, involves some interactive activity.
4) Sighting part 2 ... the practical application of theory to real shooting practice.
5) Putting it all together ... a review of parts 1-4, advice on training and equipment.
On a slightly different note, advice and guidance is available from existing members on the subject of reloading for those wishing to shoot centrefire and Black Powder calibres.
