When we have membership spaces available this progression is split into three visits.

Visit 1

  • Free of charge and arranged directly with the team via secretary@leavalleyairgun.com for a mutually convenient time slot.
  • The visit is an orientation meeting and tour to determine if probation visits are possible and to what level. 
  • We will outline the process, agree the cost and arrange for the next visit if you want to proceed and complete the paperwork if possible. The form can be completed at Visit 2 if needed.
  • There will be a onsite tour and but there will be no opportunity to shoot on this visit.

Visit 2  – Compulsory next Stage

  • Following Visit 1 this will be an arranged date and time and with an instructor.
  • Cost is £20 for an individual.  We can take a family group of a maximum of 2 people at additional £10 for the second person. The fee is paid to the instructor on the day.
