Crows Nest at Wyke

Anyone on here go to the above club?

I'm trying to get a phone number of one of the committee members

Does anyone have a number to PM me?

I am a member but don't have a contact.

Basically I want to take a family friend shooting tomorrow but he doesn't hold a Shotgun Certificate.

I just dont want to turn up and see him turned away.

Thanks.

Can I try shooting without holding a certificate?

You may be able to shoot under certain circumstances which include:

At an organised clay pigeon shoot whereby a Section 11(6) permit has been granted, which allows non-certificate holders to shoot. Approved rifle and muzzle loading clubs will allow you to shoot club guns providing you are a club member. There are normally provisions within the club rules for non-members to become 'guests', sponsored by a club member and to use club firearms to shoot on a limited number of days. Section 11(5) of the Firearms Act 1968, allows you, without holding a shotgun certificate, to use a shotgun when you are accompanied by the occupier of the land (landowner or holder of sole shooting rights) to shoot on his land using a shotgun borrowed from the occupier. Section 16(1) of the Firearms Act 1968 (as amended) allows a person to borrow a firearm from the occupier of private premises and use it in the presence of either the occupier or their servant without holding a firearm certificate in respect of the rifle.

All Clay Pigeon clubs that I have visited, have the above Section 11(6) in place.

Thanks for that, unfortunately for the last few weeks there has been a sign saying

NO CERTIFICATE-NO SHOOT !

He's a big lad if he cant shoot so be it.

Sorted, just found my rule book which has all of the phone numbers on the back page.

Section 11 (6) is only used every other week at this club, so he is out of luck.

Thanks to all who helped.
