Plenty of experience Joss, it’s just the gun club we used to attend has closed down…
Certificate holders could take along a visitor after vetting to hire out firearms, so money saved on cartridges, licences etc split between us with permission from the owner..
Unfortunately club and person are no more.
However before hand take a few lessons,(after a long while off) and get known with owner/manager at a different club somewhere, even if I’m restricted in my ability there’s always the social side to it and wouldn’t be able to over do it anyway..
I already have been in contact with a life long friend who got the required permission to sign my application.
Also used to work with someone who shot for GB in the Olympic team.
Just wondered if there would be a reduction as there is for a fishing licence again it’s been a while with that too..
Mrs ajn has the same thought as you Joss too, just an idea at the moment.
You will notice no humour in this reply…
