New Shooter from Scotland!

Hi All,

I am a new shooter based in Scotland and just went through the process of applying for my first FAC and SGC!

Process was very straight forward and as they misplaced my form I have been waiting months for it now 😞

Should be getting them through the post within the next week or so and thought I would ask any advice for beginners?

What should I think about buying first and if anyone in Scotland could tell me anywhere for beginners to go shooting would be great

Thanks

Glasgow :) 

Don’t know anywhere your way but suggest you find a good clay ground and start with some lessons even before buying a gun. Will give you a feel for what suits and a good instructor will happily give some advice on guns to start with according to budget.

Good luck

I'm confused .

Surely you must know which type of rifle to buy if you have specified a calibre on your fac.?

And have an idea of which type of shotgun your interested in if you have been clay shooting or game  /pigeon shooting before ? 

 

What type of target shooting did you do ? .

 

So I was just advised what to put on my cert based on what my father in law does , so ive put on a .22 and a 243 

So I know which Caliber to buy but I dont know which actual firearm I should be looking at if you know what I mean?

 

I have only been to the club and shooting at a 25y target But i would like to be shooting at like 100yards etc. 

 

It would most likely be a clay gun as ive been there a few times and enjoyed it.

What do you shoot (discipline wise) with the club? 

Is the club where you will be shooting or do you have land to shoot on?

In other words what will you be shooting?
