jimmmy Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Hello, Im trying to find information about clay shooting abroad. Im primarily interested in somewhere warm and from what ive read Portugal seem the most friendly to taking your own gun. Spain apparently the worst from what ive read! Does anyone know of any organised trips or companies who organise it all for you? Ive seen old information about things that used to happen in the past but nothing current. Does anyone know where you would find the rules and regs of taking your own shotgun? Google isnt really helping much. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benkent Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 I was reading a post from someone else a few weeks ago and they was saying you can get a form form to travel with your shotgun from your local firearms department. If you are driving I think you need to let the ferry company know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortune Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Ask for a European firearms pass. There's no problem or cost. Talk to the department or feo if you can get anyone to answer your call or leave a MSG. The other year when we were out in Crete I went and had a round of clays at a club there. No probs buying carts and they soon found a gun for me to use. no charge. I'll see if I can find a link to the post about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdSolomons Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Very easy I do it all the time just get an EFP. Some countries (Portugal for example) want a letter of invitation too, so get the club you plan on visiting to send you one. Not all airlines will fly guns so check into it before you buy tickets.

jimmmy Posted March 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Interesting thanks. For storage whilst away do you just keep it in the flight case and remove the fore end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdSolomons Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Just keep it locked in the case in hotel room when not in use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilR Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 Remove the forend. I also used a long cycle cable lock and secure the gun box to something immovable in the hotel room such as a radiator, handle on bath or in one instance around the WC pan and under the cistern. I also take a photo of how it's secured on my phone. If the worst does happen photographic evidence exists that you've taken reasonable precautions to safeguard it when you have to report the theft to your licensing authority.
