Rifle shooting instruction at Bisley
- Thread starter Jack3
- Start date
Maybe give the NRA a ring? They list course on the website but not 1 on 1 training.

If you are after training that is geared more towards stalking, that opens your options up a lot because you can do that on a much shorter range.
I would personally book some paid stalking with a guide. They will want to see you shoot a group before you go stalking and if you discuss your requirements with them in advance would likely be happy to provide some instruction practicing off sticks and / or a bipod.
I would do that before doing a DSC1.

Do you have a FAC and rifle at the moment?

Thanks - I'll take a look.
will you be stalking on DSC1 ? No, you’ll be shooting at a target.
learn to group accurately on targets with your deer rifle. It will make your choice of shot placement so much easier.
Apply the marksmanship principles, become familiar with your rifle and sighting system (many people shoot sparingly and then wonder why they arent good). It will help with fast target (deer) acquisition later on.
Why do people think that instruction geared towards stalking ‘rather than just target shooting’ will make them a better stalker?

Very good advice from 308tikka
I learnt to shoot at my local gun club, initially with rimfire then gallery rifle and muzzle loading pistols then got into centre fire and deer stalking.
If you live in Surrey you are lucky to live close to arguably one of the best shooting facilities in the UK. I would join the NRA, get a FAC and a rifle (or two - its a slippery slope) and get plenty of practice.

It could be that given the Op’s specific request he would benefit from exposure to, and training in, the disciplines promoted by the BSRC (Facilities – The British Sporting Rifle Club) as distinct from those of some weapons use training outfit that focuses on F Class and who’s constitution is based on the WH Smith top shelf periodical “The Digital Sniper”.

Joining a club where experience can be passed on, is a good thing.
I did say familiarise with his deer rifle.... it doesnt have to be 10,000 shots.... but it should be much more than the average stalker shoots in a year.
Have never owned an F class rig or competed in it. Its a bit easy tbh, and is populated by some very impatient characters!
Perhaps, although depending on his ability perhaps start with the basics rather than moving targets?

You do gain the impression this is one element of our sport where the sum spent on kit can directly determine the success of the shooter.

That's very helpful and sounds like good advice! I don't have FAC at the moment but planning to do DSC1 before applying.If you are after training that is geared more towards stalking, that opens your options up a lot because you can do that on a much shorter range.

The West London Shooting School has a good rifle range and can offer 1 on 1 instruction with a gearing towards stalking. You can shoot off sticks or prone on the the ground from a bi-pod or rucksack rather than just off a shooting bench, which is obviously more realistic to how you will be shooting when out stalking. It is were I do all my zeroing and practice and would recomond it.

What about a club where most of the members are hunters themselves and can offer a wealth of experience.....
Diary on the website is not up to date as we tend to use face book now but it'll give you and idea of the distances we shoot.

I was going to mention him. I am told he is very good And his shooting would be based around stalking.
the only other advice I would give you as you do not have an fac would be to get an air rifle if you have somewhere safe to shoot it. You can then learn about grouping and shooting from various positions etc and it is a lot cheaper, then you can take the knowledge from that up to centrefire.
