I think BDS run a Humane Animal Dispatch Course at Sparsholt College but can't find any dates. Are there any others or does anyone here know when the next BDS courses run. I think Jelen also do one but I don't know if it is Lantra certified.
thanks
Morning Payne.
I did the Jelen HAD course recently, and it was a well run, informative, and enjoyable day. The information given was very in-depth, with good explanation, and delivery, by experienced operators, who have been there - done that.....
The `shooting` part of the day was an eye opener, with many different firearms being brought to the course, and providing a interesting insight in to ballistic performance of the various calibres / cartridges that can be used... This was really beneficial to highlight the dynamics / dangers involved in HAD....
The `test` was a multiple choice paper, and not a giveaway by any means... While the information to answer the questions was covered within the classroom sessions throughout the day, the question and answer options were asked in such a way, that you had to have taken the information in to get them right....
All in all a very good course, with good / experienced instructors, and very practical firearms session, and closed with a test that needed concentration to do well.
All the best.
