hi Matt, thats kind of what I thought. my perms have adjacent fields I can shoot but I share with SC holders. I may be able to talk the owner into allowing me to 'upgrade' to shooting once my licence comes through. problem I have is trying to get birds to drop down when the adjacent field has guns in it as you can imagine. thats what prompted me into applying for my SC. thank you for the reply and advice. best wishes

as a side note (unable to update profile at mo) im 42, family man, into shooting, bushcraft and fishing etc living in Billericay.

Morning all. I have been fortunate to gain some air rifle perms near to home. having applied for my SC I am now looking for an informal rough/ pigeon shoot where I might be able to join and apply my air rifle to pest control at the same time as learning about the shoot, helping with maintenance feeding and beating. I would hope any fees might be reduced as I would be limited to how I shoot for the time being until my sc arrives. it would also allow the baliff to get to know me. any pointers would be welcomed. Thanks in advance moley

I'm never lucky. only blessing is I can keep shooting over my perms with my air rifle and an occasional day out with an uncle with a SC

cheers guys, I think! I will wait for the cheque to be cashed then take your advice BenKent

blimey im moving to Devon beats waiting for Essex. oh well.

hello all, having decided to apply for my SC in Essex can anyone recommend anything that can be done to make sure everything runs as smoothly as possible just to reduce the risk of any unecessary delays. I appreciate the wait is lengthy to say the least but are there common issues that can be overcome from your experience? I am not expecting to queue jump or anything of the like but simply want things to go as speedily as they can. any input would be much appreciated. thanks, Moley

fennes and purleigh, just finding my feet at moment

I know mate. shot a betty and it fitted well so probably get the same mind u I could be a millionaire by the time my sc turns up so could change my mind!!
