masterzone2 Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 With my FAC back and the shotguns granted I went N picked one up only for my RFD to say It cannot be used on clay ranges upon this I showed him condition 6 on my FAC saying the shotgun may be used for clay shooting. I am then told that the CPSA won't cover the use of FAC shotguns FULL STOP now granted in competition thats fair enough, but for those who just go for the fun nothing serious its bloody daft So was wondering 1. is this correct as I was told that the place (by them) that I was going to go that I could use them for general clay shooting. 2. And if it is the insurance thats the issue who would cover someone with a section 1 shotgun on a clay ranges So I could show them my cover note and shoot. Also it just say may be used for clay pigeon nothing about where so that should mean I can shoot clay pigeons on PRIVATE land as I am NOT outside of my allowed use of the firearm.

TJ91 Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 if the FAC states you can use it for clay pigeon shootign and the the owner of the ground you want to shoot on has ok'd it then there should be no problem as for insurance, BASC seem to cover most things give them a ring and have a chat, see what they can do also maybe worth ringing your FEO and having a chat just to double check Best of luck p.s i have seen a couple of people using 7shot benellis at a local clay ground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David BASC Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 I have had a quick look at the CPSA insurance info on their web site and cannot see anything there that prevents Sec 5 being used for clay shooting - so best check with them to get the final word. The BASC policy will cover using Sec 5 for clay shooting by the way. Best wishes David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masterzone2 Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 sec5??? sure you not mis-typing I have a section one (1) spas 12 Think I will have to call them directly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 At my local clay ground there is a notice up saying "only 2 shells to be used in semi-autos as per CPSA rules" so doesn't seem to matter if it's a 3 shot or an 11 rules say 2 shells ONLY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apache Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 The BASC policy will cover using Sec 5 for clay shooting by the way. Handgun clay shooting Sounds fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David BASC Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Yep, my typo, trying to do three things at once! Of course i should have typed Sec 1!! David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1in9 Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 I've shot a Section 1 on two different CPSA grounds in the past, never any problems bar the occassional reminder not to put more than two in from the trappers.

masterzone2 Posted January 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 The 2 shot issue I have no problems with at all As I said the the FLO/FEO Its purely to get to grips with any shotgun before I use its hi-cap format. I've e-mailed them just waiting to hear back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardo Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 a lot of clay grounds now have PSG - that requires Section 1 - tell him you intend to shoot that as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masterzone2 Posted January 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 The "other" is it just says "the shotguns can be used for clay pigeon shooting" According to my RFD as it does not say I have to go to a certain clay ground etc there is nothing stopping me shooting clays on a Farm AS LONG AS THEY ARE CLAY PIGEONS then I am complying with my licence.
