Shoot Rules

Please read these rules before you take part. Everyone must follow them at all times. The Shoot Captain's decision is final.

Licences and insurance

1. All Guns must hold a valid shotgun certificate or firearms licence. You may be asked to show it on arrival.
2. All Guns must have valid shotgun or shooting insurance. You may be asked to show proof.
3. Anyone unable to show a licence or insurance will not be allowed to shoot.

Safety briefing

1. Attendance at the 9:00 am safety briefing is compulsory for all Guns.
2. Follow all instructions from the Shoot Captain, keepers and beaters at all times.

Gun safety

1. Treat every gun as loaded at all times.
2. Guns must be unloaded, open and carried safely (broken) when not in the peg or stand, including when walking between drives and in vehicles.
3. Load only once the drive has started and you are on your peg. Unload at the end of the drive when the horn or whistle sounds.
4. Always point the muzzles in a safe direction, up or down, and never towards people.
