Organiser, Dave Carter, said: “We are sponsored by Air Arms so participants can use the club guns and do not need any other kit.

“Two bell targets are hung side by side with members shooting from 18 feet and scoring by hitting a four-inch plate. If they are accurate enough to get the pellet through the 3/8 of an inch hole, they ring the bell and score an extra point.”

Sessions are open to all, regardless of age or ability.

Doors open at 7.30pm and the cost for the evening is £2.

For those who haven’t shot before, full training will be given on the night.
