NRA Competency Certification for MOD Ranges

As of July 2008 anyone shooting on MOD ranges must have a Certificate of Competency for the particular type of firearm that they are using. The WFC can now deliver the training required to bring shooters up to standard as set out in the NRA's Probationary Training Course.

The course covers .22 and Full Bore Target Rifle, Gallery Rifle, Muzzle Loading Pistol and Muzzle Loading Rifle.

High Muzzle Energy (HME) restrictions

The new regulations regarding HME calibres require that. on every outing, a 200 yard zeroing procedure is carried out requiring certification by a specially qualified RCO. As we have virtually no members with HME calibre rifles the WFC, with the agreement of the affected member, will not be upgrading any of its RCOs to HME status.

To ensure that we stay below the HME limits an analysis has been done of the calibres we shoot and approximate values for muzzle velocity and muzzle energy determined.
