| All shooting is conducted safely in accordance with the National Rifle Association regulations, we offer your guests expert coaching from members of the Great Britain Rifle Team, National Squad or a major Bisley Club. |

Dates Fridays between April and October are preferred but due to the popularity that these days at Bisley now enjoy, an early booking is essential. We now provisionally book dates in November for the following year to ensure reservation of the necessary facilities for us with the organizations at Bisley. At least one day is usually arranged which will be particularly suitable for small groups from different Companies. An early indication of interest is, however, strongly advised. |
|
Party sizes On each day there will be between 24 and 36 guests, however, bookings can be taken for individuals and smaller groups who will then be included together on a suitable day. For the sporting clay, groups of 5 or 6 will be formed, but for pistol and rifle there will be no more than 3 guests per coach this allows hosts and guests a little time to chat between activity. Basic or more advanced instruction will be given in each discipline by the coach depending on individual ability and progress. |

Each guest will have the opportunity for some competitive shooting with each firearm. Elegant specially engraved glassware will be presented to all participants with those rated best at each discipline receiving a specially engraved glass. |
