You don’t need to be a member and you don’t even need a gun, a shotgun license, or any previous experience! Just come along to our shoot (Sunday mornings on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of each month) and have a go under the expert supervision of our friendly club officers.
You do not need to book to shoot and those with Shotgun Certificates are only asked to bring it with you to show when booking on for the first time. For non shotgun certificate holders and those who do not bring their certificates you will be asked to complete the signing on form.
​
You can email the completed signing on form to us at Info@Flyingblack9.co.uk , print it off and bring it along with you or alternatively you can complete the form on the day as we always have copies available.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need my own certificate?
No. It is legal to use a shotgun under limited circumstances such as under supervision at a club like ours that has been issued with a certificate by the police to cover section 11(6) of the Firearms Act 1996.
​
What payment methods do you accept?
We only currently accept cash as we don't have the facilities to accept other methods of payment.
​
Do I need to book in advance?
No, just come along on the day. However, it would be helpful if you contact us in advance if you are part of a group which requires help, so that we can ensure we have enough club officers available to assist.
​
What do I need to wear?
There isn't any specific clothing that you will need to get started but do bear in mind that appropriate outdoor clothing is needed.
We recommend wearing walking boots or wellies as the ground can become quite muddy when the weather is wet.
On a dry summer day trainers or flat boots should be fine.
Bring a hat, it can be very sunny and it also provides protection from any bits of falling clay (although it is rare).
Bring a waterproof coat and layer up, the weather on the top of the moor can be quite changeable at times.
​
What equipment will I need?
We will supply the use of a suitable gun with 50 cartridges. We will also provide you with some hearing protection.
If its your first time we will set up a starter stand with some easy clays and give you tuition. Once you are confident you can try some of the other stands available with support from our club officer.
​
Is there any parking?
Yes, you can drive up the track (which is unsuitable for cars with poor ground clearance) and park at the top of the track to one side so that other vehicles can pass you to turn around.
​
Can I bring my dog?
No. Dogs even if they are on a lead, are not allowed on the shooting ground. By request of the farmer.
​
Are there any toilets?
No, we currently don't have any toilet facilities.
​
Can my child have ago at shooting?
Yes. We recommend that children should be at least 10 years old. We have a single barrel 410 shotgun which is suitable for our young shooters.
