Club Rules
Due to a change in curcumstances at the club ground the committee has proposed to implement some changes to the rules govering shooting at the club grounds. The most critical precautions are to observe the Rules of Shooting at all times – shoot only from the shooting line and never forward of it, and never use an overhead draw. This does mean that neither walk back tuning nor shooting forward of the line to get marks can be accepted. The committee recognises that this will cause inconvenience, but make no apology for insisting that the Rules must be followed.
