Hi mate im 17 and in the process of a F.A.C, but in your circumstance you'll need a Shotgun Certificate (SGC), and you can get a shotgun at 15 i believe.

Hope that hepls.

17 is the minimum age, which you can purchase, or hire a shotgun and ammunition.

 

Anyone under the age of 15 who has an assembled shotgun with him so long as he/she is under the supervision of a person of 21 unless the gun is in a securely fastened in its sleeve so it cannot be fired.

 

The Act does not require the supervisor to be a certificate holder.

 

Any person under the age of 15 may not buy or be given a shotgun but they can borrow one.

 

Their certificate will be conditioned accordingly if the above is the case.

 

So anyone of any age can have a shotgun cert.

Look at the pinned posts on FAC and SGC on this forum. That's why they are pinned.
