Section 11(6) of the Firearms Act 1968 states:

“A person may, without holding a shotgun certificate, use a shotgun at a time and place approved for shooting at artificial targets by the chief officer of police for the area in which that place is situated.”

1. The organiser of any clay pigeon shoot at which persons who do not hold a shot gun certificate wish to shoot must apply to the Chief Officer for the area in which the shoot is to take place for an exemption under section 11(6) of the 1968 Firearms Act.

2. This allows non-certificate holders to possess shot guns at a time and place approved by the Chief Officer for shooting at artificial targets which normally, though not exclusively, includes clay pigeons.

3. This exemption applies ONLY to shot guns falling under section 2 of the Firearms Act 1968 (as amended).

4. Any person under 15 using a shot gun must be supervised by a person of, or over, 21. (Firearms Act 1968, Section 22(3)).

5. Prohibited persons as defined by Section 21 of the Firearms Act 1968 (If known) must not be permitted to be in possession of guns or ammunition.

6. The owners of any shot guns used on the site are reminded that the security of those guns remains solely their responsibility.”
