Berkshire Scouts Shooting Team arranges for adults to be trained to instruct the sports of archery and rifle shooting, organises events for County, District and large groups, and can point people in the right direction in all aspects of shooting (ideally down the range!).
New archery permit rules
The County now has all the necessary processes in place in light of the changes to running archery activities. For those holding an Archery GB qualification ie: GNAS Community Sports Leaders Award or A-GB Instructor Award or equivalent/higher then you can now apply for an activity permit. If you hold either of these qualifications and have up to date logged experience/necessary evidence, then no practical assessment is likely (subject to Permit Assessors discretion) to be required.
Please log into the county website and submit a Permit Application, remembering to attach a copy of your qualification and your log book.
For those that don’t hold the appropriate qualification then opportunities to get a practical assessment are available: Contact County Archery Advisers – Jeremy Burden and David Holland
