- Quarry recognition
- What to wear — is tweed really essential?
- Gun safety: holding, loading, and safe handling

- Tipping etiquette at the end of the day
- Choosing the right cartridge and choke for your quarry
- Whether to change chokes between drives

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 under the instruction of experienced BASC staff.
In the afternoon, relax and enjoy a festive cream tea, followed by a game preparation and cooking demonstration, where you’ll learn how to make the most of your harvest.
