Squinting shot Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 Good evening just a quick one Was just doing a questionnaire on www.shootinguk and a question (how long is a shotgun certificate valid for) A 5 years B 10 years C 3 years I went in with A 5 years as that is what mine I valid for and I got the question wrong apparently the correct answer is B 10 years. So I was just wondering if its a mistake by them or I have missed the news on new 10 year licensing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenholland Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 ten years would have made my day , it's a pity the licencing department didn't jump at this, considering how snowed under they always are , still that's up to them , maybe they need the overtime.
