ATAfan Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 Some good news - I finally received my SGC grant from the Metropolitan Police! All in all it took two months 19 days with the certificate being posted exactly two weeks after the FEO visit. The FEO was a friendly chap. He went through my application form confirming the information I had provided. Asked these three Q's: 1) How do you handle a shotgun safely? 2) How far does shot travel? 3) What protection should you wear? He inspected my gun cabinet. Gave it a pull from the top half and bottom half. He also asked what shooting experience I had and which grounds I had visited. It was a long wait but worth it!

Snoozer Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 Gongrats on the cert arriving, It's a great feeling when it does drop on the mat Now the shopping begins or have you picked a Bang Stick out already ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATAfan Posted November 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 Thanks. @7iain7 - Couldn't agree more. @Snoozer - I'm on the look out for a reasonable second hand Browning 525, Beretta Silver Pigeon or Miroku MK38. If you come across anything interesting please let me know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it quite often doesn't make it as far as the clay, I must be using under powered carts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
