For LIVE.22LR: Please read the rules regarding the application for a Firearms Certificate as they also apply to the use of club Firearms, ideally You will eventually require a Firearms Certificate to be a FULL member of SSbC

​

For Air.177: Things are less restricted, and sessions are available simply for Air Pistol and Air Rifle users (Probation of AIR training temporally suspended, Sorry) We can currently only take on experienced AIR target membership...

​

Use the Contact Form for your initial introduction, we will call you or email you to arrange a time and date for your first visit and session - this Introduction session will include a tour of our facilities, an explanation of the rules of the club and safety, Q&A's (from both sides) and at the end (if all is fine) you will be offered the opportunity of shooting five rounds or more with a 22LR rifle under supervision with an instructor (Or AIR if that is your choice). 

​

The first session is free, a contribution to the ammunition used is appreciated (a packet of biscuits will do).

​

Probation: Is for both sides? You like us we Like you? and the probation fee isn't your guarantee of membership, Police checks/Personal requirements/your needs etc are all reviewed and the decision of the Honorary Committee is final, the period of probation is normally 12 visits over 3 months

​

For LIVE and AIR: If, as expected, you like it, you will be given a form to apply for SSbC Probation Membership. When completed with a passport-sized photo and the joining fee of £26, access to the Website members area, RangeBookingApp, and WhatsApp Groups are granted so that you can go forward to Book time for your continuing sessions of training as a Probationary Member to SSbC.

The form will ask you to declare that you have not been refused a Firearms Licence or Shotgun certificate and that you are not prohibited from possessing a firearm under section 21 of the Firearms Act - A separate request, to the Police, will be made so that checks are carried out identifying that you are making an application to join a Home Office Range

A 'Green fee' per shooting/week is charged at £5:00, as well as you pay for Ammunition used, within that paid shooting/week, therefore, you can shoot as many times that trained access is available

During the Probation period assessment is taken as to your suitability to be a Full Member, refusal to continue access is our right therefore cancelling your application to join

if successful your application will then go before "The Honorary Committee" for approval. If not approved a further time period may be given in exceptional circumstances or the joining fee is returned to you. For LIVE: **We will assist with the application of a Firearms Certificate, as this is ideally required outside of the 'Probation Period' for LIVE, not for AIR**
