Aims of National Shooting Week

• To provide opportunities to try Olympic and Paralympic disciplines on a nationwide scale
• To enable anyone to try shooting for the first time
• To promote respect for and understanding of legal firearms and airguns

The National Shooting Week, will run from Sunday 24th to Saturday 30th May, it aims to make people of all ages across the UK aware of the importance of target shooting as a sport and to provide opportunities to try it out for themselves. Shooting bills itself as one of the most inclusive Olympic and Paralympic sports, where gender, age and disability are no barriers to success. Last year Gerry Sutcliffe MP, Minister for Sport, said "National Shooting Week is an opportunity for the sport to show itself to the wider community in the UK about how good it is for everybody to take part. With the UK teams doing so well winning medals in so many competitions right across the world shooting is high on our list of sports we want to support. So National Shooting Week gives an opportunity for all the misconceptions about shooting to be put to one side but it also gives people an opportunity to understand that this is a sport that can be for everybody."

To support the National Shooting week Broomhills is making available instructors to enable beginers to have tasters for both shotgun clay shooting and air rifles.
