Therealchucknorris Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Hi, just do a search on the board as there's quite a few other threads with similar questions and answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therealchucknorris Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 cheers. No problem, far easier and you'll get the answers you need without waiting for people to PM things into you. Realistically it won't be that much different to your SGC interview, they should ask if you have experience with the calibres you're applying for and may impose conditions based on your answers (e.g. DSC1 before you can go out unattended if you're applying for a deer calibre). You're already deemed ok to have a SGC so most of it will be routine, they may ask addition questions about your permission(s) and / or club you belong to but that shouldn't be an issue for you. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

team tractor Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 They always seem to collar the mrs and ask if she knows where you keep the keys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmiddy Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) If you have used a mates rifles before ask him if you can use him as your mentor as my FEO asked if I had shot specific callibers and with who , then proceeded to ring them up (which I think helped with the speedy licence that I now have ) also check out the bullet speeds ie miles the bullet travels for the callibers you are wanting Hope this helps Paul Edited January 10, 2014 by pmiddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you are with the fac holder.I might be totally wrong. Edited January 11, 2014 by Darno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are totally wrong Its how most people gain experience before applying for their own fac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
