“Training Nights” may be incorporated into the shooting programme- watch the notice board.
Rounds are suggested; alternatives may be shot with agreement from the Field Captain.
Generally the competitions are on Tuesdays and Fridays are intended for serious shooting practice
Indoor shoots: We can usually get into the hall before 6:30 so if members can arrive a little earlier to start setting up it will help the shoot to start promptly and ensure we have time to complete the round.
The winter shooting programme is to be adhered to as there are club shoots and league commitments to meet.
Outdoors you may shoot any distance related to the primary round (metric/imperial), as long as you are able to fit this in to the period of the shoot. (Normally- 6 ends of a dozen arrows )

note
During a Club Shoot the Field Captain controls the Shoot and will set the field according to the programme. If for any reason you do not want to shoot to the programme for that day or wish to deviate from the programme please get to the field Captain early and explain your preferences or explain your preferences to the Club Captain at an earlier date. This will allow the Club/Field Captain where possible to accommodate your preferences without disrupting the programmed round. The Field Captain determines when the shoot is finished, any practice or coaching beyond the shoot is covered within the Club rules if the Field Captain agrees.
