Please ensure you've read the below before booking:
Identification on Arrival: Participants aged 18-24 MUST provide a form of identification on arrival (driver's license or passport). Adults supervising under 18s MUST provide a form of identification on arrival (driver's license or passport) and sign that the minor's parent or guardian has consented to them taking part in the event's shooting activities.
Information Required: During the checkout process you will need to provide the full name, date of birth and home address for each participant's ticket you book. It is important that all information is completed accurately. Attendees whose details are incorrect or incomplete may be denied entry to the event, and refunds may not be issued.
Supervision: We kindly ask that anyone under the age of 18 has an adult accompanying them for the duration of their session. Additionally, we welcome additional guests of the attendees who would like to watch the activities!
Firearms Restrictions: Due to UK firearms law, we must ensure all participants (those purchasing a ticket and shooting in the activities) comply with the Section 21 prohibition. For those unfamiliar, UK firearms law prevents people with certain criminal convictions from possessing firearms or ammunition. A prohibited person is generally someone who has received a custodial sentence, including a suspended sentence. A sentence of more than 3 months but less than 3 years results in a 5-year prohibition from the date of release (or from the date the sentence becomes spent for suspended sentences), while a sentence of 3 years or more results in a lifetime prohibition on possessing firearms or ammunition. All participants will be asked to sign a Section 21 Declaration on arrival.
Group Bookings: We would love to welcome group bookings, whether it is a larger family, a friend group or a youth organisation. As we are organising attendees into groups of 15, we may be able to keep group bookings together, although we cannot guarantee it. We recommend you book early and reach out ([email protected]) to confirm the ticket holders you would like grouped together.
*Booking Fee: A small booking fee will be applied to each ticket purchased.
