WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO GET THE MOST OUT OF THE SPORT

We have endeavoured to list items that you will be required to purchase, some you will need immediately and other items you can progress into.

Ear Protection

This is one of the first and most important items to purchase, as this will protect your hearing. Ear protection in the form of earmuffs or at least suitable ear plugs is required. There are many types on the market but we would recommend you purchase suitable hearing protection from a reputable firearm dealer or similar.

Pre existing hearing impairment does not exempt you from wearing hearing protection.

You are required to wear hearing protection at all times on the ranges, whilst shooting or simply being on the range. It is not necessary on an Air Pistol Range.

Eye Protection

Glasses are mandatory for some matches and recommended for all matches. Some clubs make eye protection mandatory on all their ranges. Check with the club officials if you are not sure.

Anyone on a range where steel targets are being used or matches such as Black Powder, Service type matches and Metallic Silhouette must always wear eye protection.

Safety glasses are available at most safety equipment suppliers, hardware, and firearm dealers.

There are also specialised shooting glasses that you may choose to purchase in the future. Shooting glasses are ideal for anyone who is having trouble seeing the sight picture or seeing the target too clearly, with your dominant eye lens being made specific for what is required. Talk to someone on the range that may know about this.
