I’d think to demonstrate competency in regards obtaining a humane kill. 

Correct.

 

That and the fact as Mike pointed out.  It makes you look dapper.

@AHPP

 

It has to be renewed every year.  30 practice shots at the range that has to be over two different days.  This is recorded on a National Register.  Once there has been two authorised sessions of practice shots you can then sit the test.  The test is only for “Storvilt” I.e big game.  You must pass the test for each calibre you wish to use that season.

 

Once passed it is recorded digitally on the electronic register.

 

The test is 100m, you must get  5 shots in a 30cm circle representing the kill zone.  Miss one and the test is a fail.  No aids like a bipod or resting on anything.  Sitting, kneeling, standing or prone.  Only thing to help is not to drink too much caffeine.  🤪

 

They allow a shooters strop as an aid or you can use the shoulder strap.

 

I did the first 15 shots the other day and then an extra 10 with my .223.  25 shots, 24 in the black and one flyer which was half in the outer black and inner white ring.  

Questionable ammo that one. 😂

Felt sorry for Amber Rutter in the Olympic skeet . A hit is a hit even if its not " dusted "  Hats off to her though with her great attitude . No fuss just accepted the silver .

@Rich Rule so you're not allowed optics of any kind? Irons only?

[Rich Rule]

@Joe Newton
 

You can use optics just no bipod or resting on a bench etc.

 

i passed both of mine with the .223 and 6.5x55 the week after my last post.

I’ve recently renewed my longstanding love for irons. Gashy plastic ones but they work well enough that I can use them for a bit while I work out what I want to replace them with. 
 

Rifle is an absolute sweetheart. I’ve left a rail on to try a long eye relief pistol scope a mate has for me but irons really do seem right.

Looks like something John Steed would use to steady himself whilst walking.

 

What is it?

[AHPP]

I’d like to say a custom made Gozzi Junior but in fact a Chiappa Little Badger. £100 and I class that as not underpaying.

Air gun?

[AHPP]

Rimfire. This one LR. WMR and HMR also available. I’d have preferred an air rifle to be honest but they’re bigger, heavier and more expensive. Might investigate shorts or CB caps for this.
