SQUAD DAYS

Throughout the year the County runs Squad days. These are open to anyone who aspires to shoot for the County. Speak to Chris at club if you would like to attend. The Squad Days give an opportunity for further training and advice from a range of sources, a chance to meet others from all the county clubs who you may end up shooting with if you are picked for the team and a chance for further practice for the Inter County Shoots.

Squad Days are free to attend and are usually held at Eamont Bridge Village Hall in winter and Hunter Hall playing field in Summer, from 10am-4pm.
