If you are seeking to take up target rifle shooting we have a number of LERA members who are NRA qualified instructors and are able to provide training for new entrants to the sport.
The course material and theory test is available online and covers the disciplines of iron sighted, telescope sighted and gallery rifle shooting. This is followed by practical training/assessment on the range.
It is a tailored version of the NRA Probationary course with some emphasis placed on Enfield rifles.
On successful completion of the course and after fulfilling the criteria for full membership you will be issued with a Shooter Certification Card (SCC) that will enable you to shoot unsupervised at Bisley and MoD Ranges on shooting meetings booked by LERA. For more information on SCC's see the article here.
A charge is made for providing training..
Note: Membership of LERA is mandatory; we cannot train non-members.
The practical component of our course is held at The National Shooting Centre at Bisley in Surrey.
