Richard.Hosgood Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Good afternoon everyone! Just saying a quick hello from Exeter(ish). I am in the process of obtaining my SGC to, primarily, go clay shooting, which no doubt will follow with rough shooting once I get into it! Have been shooting a half dozen or so times on corporate days / stag do's and really enjoyed it, always said I would get the required kit to do it myself, and have now bitten the bullet and am underway in doing so! Have been having a very good read through the forums, some excellent reading and information and advice found and noted, and I cant wait to actually go out and start shooting now! The wife bought me some 1to1 shooting tuition for christmas which I am going to use the scratch the itch until I get my SGC. (Am also visiting local shoots with friends of mine to get to know the ropes) Anyways, I hope to chat to / read about / locally meet up with you guys at some point in the future! Cheers Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houseplant Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Hi Richard, I'm in the same position as you and live in Exeter. Devon & Cornwall Police are quoting 12 weeks for a new SGC approval. They received my application on 11th Jan and I'm having the home visit on 17th Feb.

Richard.Hosgood Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Hi Andrew, had my visit this evening, all ok, was told to expect the lisence through the door within 6 weeks I sent my application off on the 15th Jan, so not too bad! The visit would of been last week if she wasn't on leave! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard.Hosgood Posted February 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 License arrived this morning! Happy days! So in all, just over a month from application to receipt, which is a lot less than I was lead to beleive would be the case! Luckily for me, I live 5 minutes away from Ladds of Crediton, so I shall be paying them a visit this coming week to get fitted up!
