Hey folks, i put in my shotgun application 15 weeks ago, in herts/ beds/ cambs and have heard nothing. I hear anecdotally that there’s a huge backlog.
I had heard a rumour some 6 months ago that Herts/Beds/Cambs had stopped processing all new grant applications for an indefinite period whilst it carried out a review of recent renewals.I suspect you're not even half way through the process at just 4 months wait so far.

Temporary workaround I guess is for someone you shoot with to keep 'your' gun and bring it with them to wherever you shoot.. Not ideal though as you're bound by their schedule..
I like it. Alas, I’ve not long moved into the area so don’t have any such mates. …I’ve been paying for an instructor each time, which has been great (but it’s tied to a booking schedule, is time-boxed to an hour, and makes the sessions less light-hearted than they would be if i just turned up to dust some discs of a weekend)

If you want to have a shoot, you are more than welcome to join us on any of the PH meet and shoots we are running…. Plus either hire a club gun or maybe borrow one ?
That’s very kind, thank you. I’ll do that, will go look at the table in a sec.Yes, totally happy to hire a gun etc. (I have bought an ATA 12G OU 32”, ‘twas on sale and fitted a dream, it’s at the shop waiting for my license to collect it)
Good afternoon gentlemen.
I just thought I’d share this with you. I don’t shoot live animals myself, I just shoot clays now.
But this guy has a very good YouTube channel, it’s well worth a look .
Simon6ppc.
Have a look. Northern guy just like me self!
How he goes about taking the shot is very informative.
He uses a lot of different kit, not so much shotguns, most rifles.
But jeez he’s mustard on long-range stuff. Especially Fox.
Worth a look.

update: i went along to kibworth this morning and met up with Mark (Turn7) and half a dozen other pistonheads folks. We had a great day and they couldn’t have been more friendly & welcoming. if you’re reading this thread and wondering about joining in you should totally do it.
Nice to meet you today mate! Was a really good shoot, good mix of targets and variety around the ground. Next shoot is Cambridge in March (date TBC) - open to all!

Breaking clays, having a laugh, and making new friends is what this is all about, as you have seen today.
We have a nearly full calendar of these meets planned for the year, at locations around the country .
If you want to shoot and enjoy it with like minded folk, come and join us.
Cambridge Gun club is the March venue, date tbc
Righto, as has been announced March’s venue is Cambs Gun Club, so people please put your dates in on when/ when isn’t possible for you and let’s get the date in the diary.
