Gordon R Posted 20 hours ago Report Share Posted 20 hours ago Anyone had any dealings with this company. For £199 they offer training to prepare you to make a shotgun certificate application. Given the waiting time for an initial grant I am not convinced about the value. It might be a brilliant service, but from what I read on their Facebook page, I could probably teach someone the same in about 5 minutes. Views / reviews welcome.

enfieldspares Posted 20 hours ago Report Share Posted 20 hours ago (edited) What? Training to prepare for an SGC application? Eh? And a "Certificate of Completion"? Well given as Leicester City lost 0-4 to Brentford this evening I could do with some light relief so it's not been a wasted post GORDON_R so thank you! https://shotgunwise.co.uk/ Certificate of Completion: Receive a certificate that demonstrates your commitment to safe and responsible shotgun ownership.

Gordon R Posted 20 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 20 hours ago It sounds a bit amateurish to me. I did wonder how long the certificate was "valid" for. Would there be a refresher course after a year, at a mere £199? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet11-87 Posted 19 hours ago Report Share Posted 19 hours ago prepare you to make an application? section 1 prove you have good reason to have one. section 2 they prove good reason why you shouldn't have one. we start acknowledging stuff like this and giving it time of day it will become a pre requisite. "i want to take up clays" submit application £200 saved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our course covers all necessary safety protocols and best practices. They claim to be expert instructors, but where did this rubbish come from?

Newbie to this Posted 9 hours ago Report Share Posted 9 hours ago Easy money, for doing nothing.

Fil Posted 8 hours ago Report Share Posted 8 hours ago My issue is who taught the teachers. "experienced shotgun enthusiasts with a deep passion for responsible shooting and safe gun ownership. With years of expertise," That alone is a red flag. Just because someone has had years of experience in shooting it doesn't make them an expert or an instructor. Where are their credentials? Knowing the shooting world, if they had any it would be plastered all over their web site. I have seen many "experienced" guns trying to teach people how to shoot and I cringe at them passing on their bad practices. I have taken coaching courses, and after fifty years of shooting even I learned something. On the other hand I do realise that taking a weekend coaching course does not suddenly make you a qualified instructor either. The two must go hand in hand.

LOL and in the "Have a Go" picture he's got a guy standing to his left, just out in front. I assume it's a picture pose but if he is actually clay shooting? No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
