Rules for carbide shooting

The rules for carbide shooting are as follows:

  • Carbide shooting is only allowed on New Year's Eve from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
  • Only 1 or more (milk) churns, containers or storage barrels with a maximum capacity of 40 liters may be used;

We advise you to use balls instead of lids when carbide shooting. Together with the police, we will assess whether the site where you are planning to set off carbide is suitable. If this is the case, you will be granted permission to set off carbide.

Personal responsibility

You remain responsible for the safe discharge of carbide. You are also liable for any damage to third parties. Furthermore, as the person reporting the activity, you are responsible for ensuring that everyone present during the carbide shooting complies with the applicable COVID-19 measures.
