    TBH - AFAIK there's no target shooting club in and around Galway area/city. The closest to you would be Lo Bough in Sligo or further east would be Midlands. If you check the NASRPC web site- there's a list of clubs and contacts on that.

    That's not a good thing to be saying on an open forum. You're best bet when you say target shooting is to be part of target shooting club. Having the use of some land is mainly for vermin control. Depends on what you've put down on your FCA1 form.

    Gort? - First I've heard of it. If it's not on the Gardaí radar, it won't count as a valid club and won't help you get your licence.
