It doesn't specify who has to pay for the financial arrangements. I'm in the NSRA which gives me cover but possibly not whilst plinking in a farmers field with a suitable backdrop.
The range as far as I'm aware has to be defined, i.e. safety template. The NRA/NRSA will not insure you over farmers land, again this has to be a range. BASC will insure over land which covers some or all of the financials claims, but this still isn't a range.

I think you need to have some clause over legal quarry and zero over land.

Legal boffins, others in the know or FEO to correct E&OE.

Interestingly I just had a variation done to add some calibres for use at another club. Previously my ticket said “Whilst a member of xyz club” and it now says “Whilst a member of a HO approved club”.

I didn’t ask for it to be changed; I assume when you’re a member of more than one they put the above in to save the extra typing :)
