Do i need a shotgun certificate?


Recommended Posts


FACT

 

ive just gone through this with our local Firearms officers as i was asking if my son could shoot my shotgun on land we have written permission to shoot clays/vermin/pests

 

you can only shoot a shotgun if

 

1 ~ you are with the land OWNER and he holds a SG certificate

 

2 ~ you are at a registerd clayshooting club who are exempt

 

otherwise you need a S/G certificate

 

if you go on land with a mate who has permission and you shoot a shotgun its classed as tresspass with a firearm regardless of if youre mate has written permission.

      Hi, 
      I've recently moved to St Neots, Cambridgeshire and looking for an area or a bit of land where the owner requires help with pigeons etc. This is solely for fun and not my full time job. 
       
      Please let me know, if you or someone you know would let me shoot a few pigeons/rats for them in this sort of area.
       
      Many thanks 
      Tom

      Morning all
       
        Apologies if this has been covered previously, I have obviously missed it if it has been.
         I would just like to ask if anyone has given the A-TEC shot gun silencer a real test on the pigeons ( Full day). If you have can you let me know how it effected your shooting, if at all, or did you get to grips with it quite quick. I would be looking to use standard 32g no6 loads.
        The permission we currently shoot is shrinking rapidly due to new housing estates popping up so I am looking at all options with a view to upsetting as few people as possible. I would also be looking to use on Geese if they are OK , and I am aware that they recommend a max load of 43g through the A-TEC.
          Thanks in advance

      Hello, I've recently moved to the Norfolk area and was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction to getting permission to shoot on some local landowners land. I'm from and currently serve in the british army and know how to shoot well with my own kit. I do have some hunting experience and i'm also a BASC member to which comes with insurance. Any help would be appreciated.
