Category: Progression Days
Game shooting skills day
Are you looking to learn more about being ‘on the peg’? or perhaps your thinking about booking your first day and want a head start?
Join us at Atkin, Grant & Lang to find out everything you need to know, from field to fork.
The day will start with a bacon roll, hot drink and a brief just like a game day.
We will cover all you need to know including:
What to wear/ bring?
Gun safety, cartridge choice and etiquette
What is sustainable ammunition?
Types of quarry, how to recognise it and which one is actually yours
Who does what in a day, from keeper to picker upper and beater
How much should you tip?
Our BASC coach will check your gun/ fit and take you through shooting techniques before heading out onto the ground to shoot some driven targets that simulate live quarry.
The final part of the day will be a full demonstration on how to prepare and cook your quarry to give you the confidence to ‘take a brace’ after a day’s shoot.
We will be supplying and using sustainable ammunition on the day, you will need to bring a gun that is suitable for steel shot and half choke or less.
Booking is essential and spaces limited, open to anyone 18 or over.
Please bring your certificate, PPE (cap, eye and ear protection) and gun cleaning kit.
BASC members £65 per person, non members £75 per person.
