most FEO's will require you to be a member of a club AND have somewhere to shoot AND have insurance before they issue a variation for an FAC shotgun.
So pretty much like any other S1 firearm used for target shooting then?

Yes but your rifle club membership is ok. Does not have to be a practical / shotgun club.
Your good reason is the desire to shoot target comps with your sec 1 shotgun.

And note that because S1 shotguns are outside the Home Office Approval scheme, club membership is legally irrelevant. That doesn't stop your FEO considering it in the exercise of his discretion, but it is of itself neither necessary nor sufficient to demonstrate good reason for a multi-shot smoothbore gun under S1 Firearms Act.

Thanks for all the help, chaps. Now, what the hell do I put in that tiny, one line box on the 202?....

Target shooting, and where you're shooting it if your force's 202 request club info for location

Thanks. Does 'target' include PSG I assume? I want to have clays and vermin too, of course! There's not much room...

They're quite happy if you join Rossendale as a PSG member, £60 a year.
