Reynard,

You do not need a reason now but I would stick with clays to start with an intent to go for rough shooting. It is a good training regime. Although I don't shoot anything living unless I am going to eat it or it is a pest.

Brian,

You have gone into it. I would agree with what you say but you can get cheap pumps and they are more suitable for after events. If the mickey mouse laws in place are reduced then you can get larger capacity at a later date.

The important thing is having a SC allows you to buy the cartridges. You can then stock up as much as is allowed and as you can buy them in batches of 1000 it is quite a bit. My firearms officer didn't even blink when he seen my stack of shotgun shells. He was only interested in the bullets which are restricted. Plus, you can buy as many shotguns as you can fit in cabinets. Get a big cabinet if you intend to get more than one.

There are various types of cartridges ranging from small shot for small birds up to large shot for geese and so on. The bigger the shot the bigger the creature you can hunt. Save the air rifle for birds.
