Section 1 shotgun


Recommended Posts

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

Wouldn't put for clay shooting down, definite no-no.

 

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

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.

My cert says "unrestricted condition" The FAC rated shotgun and ammunition shall be used for the shooting of Fox,Vermin and ground game and for practice on ranges,or land over which the holder has lawful authority to shoot.

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.
