Anyone know who the youngest person was to pass DSC1? just wondered
14years and 2 days to beat!
Bearing in mind that you have to have an FAC or be a member of a HO approved gun club to shoot under the age of 17
Really?Wrong to fire a centrefire rifle below the age of 17 you must either be a member of a HO approved club shooting on an approved range or have an FAC for the rifle you are using.
The "Age 14" and shotgun tend to go together...

No technical about it's a firearms offence 5 year minimum jail sentence if convicted

8x57,
I'm not aware that a 13 year old can be on their own, even with an SGC, in public and shooting.

Stan I think that you may be confusing shotgun and firearms certificates. There is currently no lower age limit for the grant of a shotgun certificate and I believe that there have been several instances of shotgun certificates being issued to 9 year olds, there may even be youngsters younger than this that have shotgun certificates but I am not aware of any. Firearms certificates are an entirely a different matter and 14 is the minimum age for the grant of a firearms certificate.
I was under the impression that a youngster could use a rifle under the supervision of the certificate holder. Thought that was and has always been the case. I would like to see it in black and white

Really?
So all those "My first Buck. Aged 14" pictures you see in the Shooting Times ect are technically illegal? (I doubt they ALL have FAC's)
Ive lost count of the young lads that have shot their first stag/buck with me.
. Oh well they all say I am stuck in the past I thought cartridges were still 2 pounds a box till about 6 months agoI can see several things that are not quite correct with the attachment you have added Mark, irrespective of the date which is April 2000 and changes that have been made since then.
