Firearms competency is key to ensuring our sport remains a safe environment for all participants. Safety is our number one priority and all members must complete the WTSC firearms competency course. This is included as part of membership.
If you want to take part in the course as a non-member, please get in touch and we can set that up. The course takes approximately 2 hours and can be completed individually or as a group.
For non-members, the cost is €30 per person or €150 for a group of 6. A certificate of completion is provided at the end of the course.
The course is in-person only. There is no online option available.
