WinchesterDave Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 A mate of mine in my TA unit has asked if I can take him shooting as he is interested in getting a sgc himself. Now he's about 24/25 I'm 20. Would I be able to take him to Kelbrook and let him use my guns or do I have to be 21 for that? Sorry if that sounds dumb but I'm Not 100% sure so want to ask:) Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pothunter Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Whatever gun he shoots at a shooting ground will be on the basis of their section 11/6 exemption. So whether or not he's allowed to use your gun rather than theirs will depend purely on their policy. At most clay grounds i can think of it wouldn't be a problem.

Danger-Mouse Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Best thing to do is call the ground and ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clayman Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Sec 11-6 of the Firearms Act allows the issue of a Permit to a Shooting Ground, and the holder of that permit may allow the use of a shotgun and purchase of cartridges for use at the ground by non-licensed shooters. As the permit holder is responsible for the novice under 11-6, if they allow the use of your gun, they may still require that another club member or an instructor accompanies you, as you may not be deemed sufficiently experienced to be delegated the responsibility of supervision of a novice. As suggested, ring the ground and see what their policy is. The experience of the supervising gun owner will be the biggest issue. Unless the round knows you are sufficiently experienced to take responsible supervision in hand by delegation under their 11-6, you may still need another person they accept to shoot along with you and your friend. Also, have a think about how this person ( your friend) will be insured. Instructors carry professional liability that extends to the pupil, but your insurance will not - so is the ground covering them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marki Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Insurance is not a requirement to go clay shooting is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostonmick Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 there are lots of people shooting without any kind of insurance I have never been asked to prove insurance at any of the practice grounds I use.i believe that everyone should have insurance when shooting, in fact I think it should be compulsory.

clayman Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) Good, I agree with you. There are a few grounds around that insist on showing insurance, Bisley Shooting Ground being one of them. I have to confess to having a vested interest in this, as I am the founder of www.ccc3.co.uk I set this up when I left CPSA full time, as I have always felt that insurance could be better value than BASC / CPSA - and by not having a magazine and using virtual servers etc, our £10m cover remains market leading and as low as £24-95 for a year ( syndicates) or £29-95 individuals.
