Help Needed please - anyone shooting sunday near leeds?

[andyp1]

Hi all, not really posted much on here, but keep an interest in the threads so appologies if im asking too much!

 

Having had my meeting with the firearms officer yesterday, rightly or wrongly, he has approved my application for a shotgun certificate on one previso........i need a reference from a current license holder to say i understand the basics of shotgun handling and safety.

 

I have shot many many times in the past, both clays and live quarry, but have never held my own certificate, the licensing officer will not accept a previous shooting acquaintance as a referance, as i "may have forgotten how to behave safetly since i last shot".

 

So, what im trying to ask......Is there anyone going clay shooting tomorrow (sunday 18th Nov) who would be happy for me to join them for a round, allow me to shoot their gun; and if they believe i am capable of using said weapon safetly, act as a referee for me. I would have prefered not to have to ask this, but slightly resent the idea of having to pay £60+ for a safety leason at a shooting school when i believe i am fully competent of demonstarating such and could enjoy a round of clays at the same time!

 

I live in leeds, but i have my own transport and would be willing to give someone a lift also if needed, i am fully able to pay my own way obviously.

 

If someone would be happy for me to join them, i will openly state here, that if after watching me shoot, they are not happy that i am safe, i wont put any pressure on them to vouch for me.

 

Thanks for reading this, and i hope someone from the leeds / yorkshire area may be able to help me out (ps, certain members from here may have met me in the past on the paintball fields, so hi if you know me!)
