Law states no day membership allowed , you have to be a fully paid up permanent club member to use the club's facilities

I dont know lad, there are clubs out there that facilitate non-members Im Sure they are authorised to do so. Its pricey but well worth it. Cheers.
P.s sorry mods I really need to learn how to multi-quote.

They're only allowed to do it for clay pigeon shooting - any club doing day memberships or allowing non-members to shoot rifles or pistols would wind up in hot water sooner or later.

would that be even with your own rifle Sparks, or just if you want to rent a rifle / pistol?

Sparks

No, there's an exemption for people attending "events organised by the club" (meaning open matches, training courses, and so on).

Ok thanks sparks, was worth a shot. If I get the funds ill just join a club I think. Thanks lads for the info.
