Join BASC East at the Fennes shooting school to pattern your shotgun.
On the day you will be issued with the correct cartridges for your type of quarry
You will then go and shoot 5 cartridges through each barrel at a patterning plate under the guidance of BASC,
We will then look at pellet count in line with best practice and chosen quarry, this will help you understand how your gun patterns and optimise your shotguns performance when using sustainable ammunition.
After this you are able to then (if you wish) be accompanied by a BASC coach to shoot 25 clays using sustainable ammunition. ( this will be at extra cost of £10 per person but this does include your ammunition)
- All those attending should be experienced shots and are required to bring their own 12 or 20 nitro proof gauge shotgun and certificate.
- The shotgun will need to be choked less that half / modified
- 12g need chambers 65mm or longer
- 20g require chambers 70mm or longer
If you are in any doubt about whether your gun is capable of safely firing steel please consult a gunsmith before booking,

For this event however we are recommending your guns to be choked at cylinder, quarter or half to optimise performance. If you are in any doubt about whether your gun is capable of safely firing steel we suggest that you consult a gunsmith before attending.
