Obviously, they still have to go through verification. Thats interesting, where did you do your course? 15 hours ago, wacker said: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kushydoo Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 It was at tulloch range which was on the right there was sign like a cut out rifle at the end of a dirt road not far from ballater it was run i think by a stalker from invercauld estate who sadly now deceased was jimmy oswald who was quite a caracter. it was a thoroughly enjoyable course. they used to have competitions there where all members of bds could enter. if i remember captain faquarson from invercauld estate used to present the prizes.

Red-dot Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 50% of candidates that fail fail on the shooting tests and it is usually the ones that think it's easy but it is designed to catch the know alls out. You need to practice especially the standing and sitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
