Use of Mod ranges by NRA affiliated Clubs during Covid-19 restrictions
National Rifle Association
The MoD licences Home Office Approved Clubs that are affiliated to the NRA basis criteria described by the Defence Safety Authority (DSA) in the Ordnance, Munitions and Explosives (OME) document suite available here
Club Secretaries should familiarise themselves with Part 3 of the document (Code of Practice) Guidance Note for Ranges, Chapter 2, page 48. âUse of MoD Ranges by Civilian Clubsâ which explains the applicable regulations. Club Secretaries should also familiarise themselves with the terms of the MoD licence DIO Form 5665 for range specific regulations and comply with Range Standing Orders.
MoD requires civilian Clubs using DIO/RFCA ranges to provide two qualified First Aiders (A First Aid at Work qualification is acceptable) if one of the First Aiders is taking part in the shooting activity.
Finally, the NRA has received confirmation from MoD that civilian clubs should not use/refer to Pam 21.
