Firearms Awareness Training
These courses are designed to equip the candidate with the knowledge and skills required to undertake basic rifle, air rifle or shotgun shooting. They are ideal for beginners or novices wishing to improve their ability.

You do not need to have a Firearms Certificate or your own rifle. Rifles and ammunition will be provided.
