Women's Introduction to Game Shooting

Join us on 17 December at Mid Norfolk Shooting Ground for a women's Introduction to Game Shooting - a relaxed, friendly, and supportive day designed to help women of all experience levels learn more about the sport.

What you’ll learn:

• Best practice and shooting etiquette
• Quarry recognition
• What to wear — is tweed really essential?
• Gun safety: holding, loading, and safe handling
• Identifying your bird
• Tipping etiquette at the end of the day
• Choosing the right cartridge and choke for your quarry
• Whether to change chokes between drives
• The role of gundogs and which breeds suit the job
• Responsibilities of beaters and gamekeepers

After the instructional session, we’ll check your guns and head out to put your learning into practice, shooting a range of sustainable ammunition at driven targets.

In the afternoon we will dress and cook game in a tasty and easy to recreate at home way.

All clays and cartridges included.
