p@cman Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 I'm new to the Pigeonwatch forums, so thought I had better say hello. Not exactly new to shooting; I did some pistol shooting in my younger days and some shotgun shooting from time to time, but I never seemed to have the time to get round to getting licenced and taking it up seriously. Anyway, thirty years on and pistol shooting is no longer an option, but last summer I went on a charity clay shoot with some friends and really enjoyed it. In fact, I enjoyed it so much it fired me up enough to finally get round to applying for a shotgun cert and start going along to a local clay shooting club and I've been going along regularly ever since. Everyone has been very friendly, extremely helpful and supportive. The only problem rather frustratingly, is I'm still waiting for the SC to come through. I applied beginning of November, the FLO has been out and visited early January and is quite happy, the forms have gone back to the licencing office, certificate has been approved and according to the lady at the office is 'waiting to be signed' along with a huge backlog of other certificates. She couldn't say when it would be signed, would just have to wait until they work their way through the pile! Anyway, I'll stop rambling on and wish you all the best. Cheers, Paul.
