Mason4796 Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 Evening all. I am a keen clay shooter but am really interested in getting in to practical shotgun shooting. I live in between Leeds and York, near Wetherby. Do any members know of any clubs that accommodate practical shooting and who best to speak too? i have emailed the ukpsa and they said to find an affiliated club but that there are also a number of non affiliated clubs that may be worth speaking too. I hoped that someone may be able to point me in the right direction of a local place to start. I am also a section 2 license holder. I assume I would need to join one of these clubs before being able to apply for a section 1? Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nnorman32 Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 Hello. First step is the UKPSA safety course, I spent 2 days near Grimsby with some guys from North Cotes Butts. Prone/Kneeling/Weak shoulder/firing round cover etc - cost about £80 and a slab of 28g.(used a 2+1 semi auto and a cheap cartridge belt)) Passing the course means you can enter competitions and you also get to meet others who are like minded. Also look for Sycamore club (Sheffield) and Rossendale on FB. If you join the clubs they will help you with the wording for your application for a S1 shotgun Licence. ie: The shotguns to which this certificate relates may be used in recognised practical target shooting disciplines, as a member of a relevant club or recognised association and where the holder has permission to shoot with that class of firearm. The 12 gauge solid slug ammunition to which this certificate relates shall be used only on ranges in respect of which a range safety certificate specifically authorises use of same or on other land over which the holder has permission to shoot with that class of firearm and ammunition type.

CaptainBeaky Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 Make sure you get clays and vermin added to your conditions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all Forces allow that, or should I say- not all FEO’s will accept that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainBeaky Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 They should put clays on automatically, surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaymo Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 Not on mine. the wording is as Nnorman32 quoted. placed a Variation for an additional sec1 and FEO said that wasnt possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know my section 1 shotgun was put down for practical, clays and vermin and to be honest i pretty much exclusively use it for Pigeon shooting now.

johnnytheboy Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 I herd folk talking bout this saying it was not a good thing to get into as they might ban rapid firing guns soon? I’m interested in what that’s all about as I just bought a new semi auto for duck hunting! Anyone have anymore knowledge on this situation?

Jaymo Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 I heard people say you can’t get pregnant standing up either......... The consultation papers describe .50 BMG and also MARS rifles, for now our shotguns are safe so crack on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord O War Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 I never put pics of myself on the interwebs, mainly because I wouldn't want to inflict that on you but then there's the tinfoil hat who is watching you reason. I also have tape over my web cam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nagantino Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 Seems like a good idea not to show on a forum exactly who you are, especially when a shotgun suitable for Practical Shotgun is concerned with 9, 10, 11 or more capability. There's no compromise with security. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
