Crazy wrote:Reasontlly I have been seeing a fair amount of category c shotguns around Victoria in the clay target clubs and was wondering how one goes about getting one. So I had a look around and haven’t found that much information about it, according to Vicpol you have to hold one for a junior, have a medical condition or owned one and been apart of a club before November 15th 1996. So I was wondering could you get a category c for compition clay target shooting? Because I have been told I could but haven’t found much information about it. If anyone has gone through the process, point me in the right direction. Cheers.

If you have large calibre firearms already, they will question why you can shoot them and not an underover. Also a fair bit of fkn around to get the medical thing signed off. Not saying it can't be done, just pointing out if it's not a fair dinkum claim you could cause yourself some headaches.

And the best collectors laws. Anything other than Cat D is super super easy to get here, no need to prove anything or deactivate the guns
But yeah overall our system is pretty ******

If you loose those laws, you won't have much else left!
