Women's Introduction to Game Shooting at Mid Norfolk Shooting Ground

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.
