Forum rules
The National Body General Discussion section is exactly that, a section for all of us to discuss the National Bodies and what they are up to.
Please bear in mind that this is an open forum and your posts can be read by all members. If you are in a position that can be compromised by what you are saying on here because someone takes offense and tells your colleagues or your sponsor and that in turn means you are being punished for your posts on here, think before you post!
Pete wrote:So to sum up, can an affiliated club member turn up on his own and shoot, as long as his club secretary/nominated person made the booking for him, and he holds a valid shooters card?
YES.
Actually no.
Even if you can make it out to be a properly constituted club shoot (which no one else wanted to attend), you still fall foul of Range Regulations:
38. An individual shooter may act as his own RO if he:
a. is shooting on Winans Bay C (Zero Range) or Winans Bay B when being used as a zero range alternate to Winans Bay C; or
b. is aged 18 or over, an individual member of the NRA and is shooting a deliberate supported or static discipline on a range other than Cheylesmore Bay B or Winans Bay A.
So, in summary, to shoot on your own you have to be an individual member.
Your hack doesn't work.
I stand corrected.

Does that mean, target or scoped rifle, prone and benchrest rifle are OK, but nothing in the gallery, like standing SA, lever action or black powder pistol?

It's supported deliberate (one group) or static (second group). See NRA Handbook Section 15 Shooting Disciplines and in particular para 50, on page 41 of the 2021 Handbook, available online here: https://nra.org.uk/all-downloads/nra-handbooks/

Thanks, wouldn't it just be easier to tell me the answer?
