Pre Deer Stalking Certificate

This course will equip the candidate with the knowledge, understanding, skills and awareness required to undertake basic rifle shooting as required for the Deer Stalking Certificate 1 (DSC1) shooting assessment.

It is an ideal course aimed at beginner or novice shooters to improve their shooting abilities. There is no requirement for you to have a firearms certificate or your own rifle.

Safety issues will be covered in a classroom before moving on to the range for the practical aspects which will deal with shooting positions and rifle technique.

This course will offer the candidates plenty of time on the range using various centre-fire rifles and to practise the shooting test positions.

There will also be some time for discussion and explanations of other areas of the DSC1 course and assessments.

Rifles are available and ammunition will be provided. You can also bring your own rifle, however, if you do, please bring your current FAC with you.
