Frequently Asked Questions
| Do we shoot on any other day of the week? | As other clubs use the same facilities as us, therefore we share the facility throughout the week, with Thursday being our assigned day. We also have specific Monday nights for club training, but recommend that visitors and new members attend on a Thursday. |

| How does a Thursday night operate? | Doors open around 6.15pm, with the registration and set-up. We aim for Beginners and Visitors to shoot at 6:30pm, and then Club members at 7.15pm. Details generally last around 30-45 minutes, with targets replaced between each. On completion of shooting, there is tea and biscuits, target marking, and finally pack-down. |
