angry pup 0 Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 (edited) Hi there any keepers or pest contollers here with section 1 shotgun on their firearms certificate? What is the exact wording of the conditions for its use as printed on your FAC? I am just applying for a varitation on my ticket to get one and want to send the form off. I was looking to write something like 'For control of pests and vermin, including foxes, and for clay shooting' Cheers Aaron Edited June 12, 2011 by angry pup Quote Link to post

Most clay grounds wont even let you put more than two cartridges in a semi auto anyway. Quote Link to post

That's odd, the other underkeeper I work with reckons he has clay shooting on his conditions, tbh I wasnt planning on turning up at the local clay ground with it anyway, but its useful to have the option. Anyway cheers. Edited June 12, 2011 by angry pup Quote Link to post

David B Allen 0 Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 I'm covered by Grampian Police Scotland Our firearms department will not grant a Section One shotgun cert. for clay shooting, game shooting "Formal shoots allow two cartridges in a shotgun at one time" You'll only get a Section One shotgun cert. if you're a keeper Etc. I've had to have all three of my Section One shotguns converted and added to my Shotgun Cert. Best of luck with that one, I'd be interested to hear how you get on. Quote Link to post
