Shooting-related items

If you already have your own suitable shotgun, ammunition and licence or authority, ask the host club what is required for the event.
If you are attending a come-and-try day or introductory session, ask the club what equipment can be supplied and what you need to bring.
Confirm any event-specific requirements before attending.

Ask before you go

Clubs may have different requirements depending on the event, state rules and insurance arrangements. A quick message before attending can save confusion on the day.
