Hi did not think it was Glyn ingram who took you for your test.
He was my instructor on Humane dispatch course at Petersfield with BDS a great guy and a good instructor.
At least you know you have got your DSC1 now completed.

Yep, great guy. Just waiting on my actual cert to come through now

Plus you will get your DSC1 badge with your cert.

So you do. Feels like being back at school and getting a swimming badge

Well done Lad from the old boy on the course are you doing DSC2

I had a 'friend', who had to re-classify every three months on the range, for work.

On one detail, he only got off nine of the ten shots required.

As he went 'forward to check', and was counting his holes with his pen...six, seven, eight, nine and...

Perfect score.

You have all heard the saying, "The pen is mightier than the sword".



Well on that day, it was mightier than the Glock...

Ah yes. The 9mm biro. Never needed it myself, and never saw the letter R on my card either ….

On the badge they look like the front leg was added later on or was it a wounded deer

Head shots look mightily impressive. Any mention of all-copper for the test or is this just a SD wind-up?

Rules don't specify, although I think it does mention that it should be factory rounds

In that case I should never have passed the DSCL1 shooting test!

It did state only factory rounds for both me and Jh1986 who both took our test in October at the same venue.

 

[Jh1986]

I think it's more of a safety rule rather than anything to do with the shooting pass/fail aspect.

Any numpty could cock up a reload and cause an issue that has to be dealt with

Rules don't specify, although I think it does mention that it should be factory rounds

Rules say:

"

8. Ammunition​

Only deer legal ammunition will be permitted. Handloaded ammunition is allowed at the Assessor/Range Conducting Officers discretion and as long as it meets all normal requirements. Hand loads must be presented for examination before use and any problems identified at this stage, or during shooting, will result in permission to use being withdrawn immediately."


But probably they are just not enforcing it. I bought very expensive ammo that I will probably only use for this test (.223 SP)

BASC web page says Factory only and No homeloads just checked it again

Basc rule not a DSC1 rule.

 

[bottletopbill]

No wonder we all get mixed messages in stalking our is a newbie going to learn,

My copy-paste is from the BDS for the exam on the 4th of May at Petersfield. I assume BASC and BDS rules may differ?

Any one taking a DSC1 test double check what ammo you can use just to be safe .

At least double check that you've got some suitable boxes to put it in...
