clay shooting

[hattra]

You only need a Shotgun Certificate for a shotgun, because it's not classed as a firearm (being smoothbored with a barrel length of greater than 26"). Anything else, either chemically-powered or with a muzzle energy of greater than 2 foot-pounds (probably metricated these days) is classed as a firearm. Anything with a muzzle energy of less than 2 ft-lbs is classed as fecking useless.... (aka AirSoft)

Which means that all you need to use a 16-pounder cannon (heh-heh!) is a shotgun certificate (& and a black-powder certificate as well, of course)

Bit difficult to hide one of them under your coat, though and they won't let me use at my local clay-pigeon shoot

[Sockpuppet]

I thought it was a Shotgun Certificate... the FAC is for rifles... and handguns, if anyone remembers those...*

(*other than the 3 million or so illegal handguns now in the country).

Not 100% sure on the shotgun only route as all the people I know have rifles as well. For us we fill in the FAC and the shotgun certificate is an extra. I assumed you had to fill the FAC in as well for the references etc...

To be fair every police force seems to do it slightly differently so best to check with who your local chief constable is after all he is the one that will say yey or nay to your application.

Clay pigeon is great fun.

I do smallbore, fullbore and clay pigeon when I get some free time. If you are wanting to take it further join a club for a while and then apply for FAC (Firearms Certificate) which you will need for a shotgun. Then get a visit from police be told your a terrorist swine for wanting a firearm, fit safe into house and then be happy and shoot clays.

I guess it would be more fun if instead of clays we could use pimps (agents) !!

As Eddie Izzard says, wait till they land - Its dead easy you can walk over to them and blow the feckers away.

I went Clay Pigeon shooting once when my friends wife asked what clay pigeon shooting was. I said it was an easy way to shoot pigeons because we put some feed on to of wet clay and then they get stuck and can’t fly off.

She said that’s a cruel sport.

Best make sure that certain members of the board don't meet up at the shoot, it could get messy if they do.....
