F     Members or clubs can purchase stickers from the SPA (£1) and shoot the discipline at their club, authenticated by their club official and sent to the SPA by post. 

F     Alternatively individuals can enter at any SPA competition meeting. Members can nominate before shooting, pay a £1 entry fee and shoot concurrently with the selected discipline competition they have entered. 

 

The cost of the merit badge, along with the discipline bar, if successful is £5.00.  A certificate will also be awarded.
