Hi all,
I’m a fairly new member to this forum and actively been reading many threads on here, it looks to be a great forum.
My wait for A/B licence was 61/2 months, I got the email approval almost 2 weeks ago and just waiting for my licence to come in the mail now. The gun shop has my PTAs already waiting to go.
I am very keen to get into clay shooting, not sure which discipline yet and maybe just for the enjoyment, not necessarily to enter competitions. I’ve only tried it twice over the last 6 months, enjoyed it greatly however it seems very hard to get a look in at SSAA Belmont where I’m a member. The reasons that seem to be stopping me are, - no licence yet, no licensed mates into this and the Covid issue means that they closed down clay shooting recently, it seems.
I’m also a member of a local pistol club and been going there almost weekly for supervised competition as I’m considering a cat H application too, but my question is, whats the best way or club to join? I would be disappointed if I joined another club and found it really hard to get booking (once I’m licensed) because they have too many shooters or some other reason for limiting attendance.
I’ve been looking at Sporting Clays as they are next door to SSAA Belmont, but this means a third membership and they don’t seem to publish costs to attend once you’re a licensed member.
Would any local forum members have comments and or recommendations please?
Thanks Rusty
