SportingShooter 0 Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 There is no separate form for a Shotgun Certificate application and indeed there is no "reference" at all. If you look on the forms you have, there is a section there which asks for someone to act as a "Countersignatory" basically, they want someone of social standing/responsibility that has known you personally for at least two years to say that what you have written on the form is correct to the best of their knowledge. You fill in their details, ask them to sign where required and sign one of your photographs. It should all be explained in the "Notes" on the last page of the form. SS Quote Link to post

SS hopefully his feo is more willing and helpful than mine, not sure if its true but was told by my keeper that there being taken over my group4, mine was useless, and to be honest wasnt a smooth ordeal, luckily my 2 mentors are experienced gamekeepers and they helped me no end ....they rang my referee and gamekeeper and spent 30 mins quizzing my partner... sure hope the ops ordeal is better than mine certainly put me of applying for fac for sure, still recovering from my ordeal hehe, all the best Quote Link to post
