shotgun certificate


Recommended Posts

How old are you atm mate ? It would help if you fill in your profile :/

 

As I am aware mate NO at the age of 15 you can not go around unsupervised. You should be constantly supervised by someone over the age of 21 I believe. Im not 100% sure if this person has to have a SGC, I don't think they do, so say your dad didn't have his SGC, he could still supervise you and take you out to say some pigeon shooting down the local farm.

 

Although I did mention im not 100% sure on this. My apologies mate, I didn't bother getting my SGC and FAC until I was over 18 :hmm:

But do not fear, as Lee has said, im sure there's plenty of helpful people here who will soon come along and help.

 

Its 12AM here atm :lol: What time is it overe there Lee ?
