Afternoon all,
I'm heading down to Bisley this Saturday (do PM me if you are too) and wanted to take along a non-shooting friend to try and get him interested in the sport. He doesn't have any full-bore experience, nor an FAC and certainly not a shooter certification card. I have all three of course, the latter being through BASC (who have booked the time on the range for me).
The Bisley range regulations state that spectators need ear protection and must stay behind the firing point; fair enough.
However, they also contain the below provision, which appears to permit a novice to shoot under my supervision. It would be great if I could actually allow my pal to shoot under my instruction, as he'd take a lot more from the day.
Does anyone have experience of this ? My BASC contact is out of the office until Thursday and it would be great to get an answer before then.
Many thanks,
Mauser M03
