Franchi Harrier Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Massive hi to all. New to this forum and awaiting my SGL still after 12 weeks. Cabinet all installed and deposit made on my first shotgun being a Franchi Harrier Sporting. Anyone else having a long wait for their SGL in Notts or any other newbies/experienced clay shooters attending any Notts clubs to consider future meet-ups? Best regards, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BerettaSV10 Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Its not unusual to wait 3 or more months to get your SGC, some areas are turning the applications around in weeks while others are taking around 6 months, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyska Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Hello Matt, I'm notts too, I don't shoot clay really, but there is a pretty substantial amount of midlanders on here who do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBD81 Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Hi mate, I'm new also and from Mansfield area.. My mate as just received his SGL after week. He called them on the second week to check if they have received his application to which they checked and said yes.. He the asked in a polite manor how long would he be waiting roughly as the farmer is hassling him duo to the crop been cut. She then said she will look it up as they have a back log, but should be around another 3 week... 2 week later all checks was passed and he now has his licence I know allot of people do not advice calling regards the matter, but he called in a good nature and it payed off it seems..

filzee Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 hi mate im also in notts. currently notts police are running very far behind due to one of the feo's being off sick and the other one trying to cover everything so their currently doing about 100 visits a week less than they should be. I shoot clay occasionally. It might be a good 4 months or more till its come through unless you can get your boot up them to hurry them along.

RED BEARD Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 hello and welcome ,notts ploice are miles behind but its worth giving them a ring in a couple of weeks just to see how long its going to take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franchi Harrier Posted September 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Hi guys. I called them at week 10 and was told to expect upto the full 20 weeks. I intend to have another chat with them in two weeks to see where we are with it. At this point it would be week 15. I would consider this fair time to arrange a visit or give a clearer indication of where we are. I've only done the two lessons and found an instant interest in the sport. Just don't fancy the steep price for the lessons and would rather learn by other means, like meeting new people to give me some sound advice. Will keep peeps updated on the SGL process.

adymorris Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Hello & welcome, yep as above, notts are behind at the moment, may be a little longer, calling them probably won't help, all it will do is tie people up on the phone and cause even further delay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franchi Harrier Posted October 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 FAO called today for the visit on Monday 15th. So to date has been a 16 week wait. Hope it should be just two weeks after to wait for the SGL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
