Shooting requires a steady eye and steady hand but it can be an exciting expression of control and skill. A parent or guardian's permission is now specifically required on each occasion that a young person under 18 years old takes part in a shooting activity. Contact an adviser if further guidance is needed. There are facilities for air rifle shooting at the County Campsite at Bentley Copse. Contact the wardens, Graham and Julie Anker - 01483 202424 - for details of costs and availability.
