i was 14 and got me first shotgun then aswell,

 

rember though, if you dont know anyone with a SGC thats willing to "give" you a shotgun, your mum will need to get one aswell untill you are 15, then the shotgun can be given to you and can be used unsupervised, you cannot buy a shotgun or ammunition untill you are 17 with you SGC,

 

hope this helps,

 

all the best

 

im sure SS will correct me if im wrong

I think thats right

 

You can be given a shotgun at 14. However, you will need to be supervised by someone over the age of 21 in order to shoot it.

 

When you reach the age of 15 you can then use that gun unsupervised on land that you have permission.

 

And as CB says, you have to be 17 to buy Guns and Ammunition
