MOD Energy Limit - final posting

The MOD has introduced new (lower) muzzle-enegry limits which will affect civilian shooters.

 1   There will be a standardised training scheme for all new shooters with
clubs having to use the NRA Probationary Course structure or have their own 
scheme approved by the NRA.
2   All shooters will be required to have an annually renewed certificate,
signed by their club Chairman, confirming that they are safe and competent to 
use the relevant type of firearm. This certificate will have to be available for 
inspection when shooting on an MoD range.
3   Both the NRA and affiliated clubs will have to maintain sufficient
records to show that these procedures have been carried out, and periodic 
audits will be required.
4   Clubs will need to sign an agreement stating that they accept these
requirements, they will take part in any investigation following an incident 
and they will require their members to assist fully in such investigation.
