Bookings are not refundable or transferable, but if the course is cancelled we will refund you or offer you a deferred booking
The club runs a number of Probationer training courses throughout the year as a way of inducting keen people into our probationary membership programme. Our initial Probationers Course runs from 9.30 to 13.30 on a Saturday morning on our indoor range in Luton. Coaching and tuition is one-to-one, so each course (content below) is limited to 8 participants - early booking is recommended to avoid disappointment. After that, the course includes two further training sessions on Thursday evenings.
The three sessions of the course cost £40 and is open to anyone who is not legally prohibited from handling firearms. In target shooting women compete on equal terms with men and young people are encouraged, but we can only accept minors onto the course if their parent or guardian is also booked and intends to pursue club membership.
