Target shooting is a good reason to put forward to obtain a firearm certificate providing that they back up the application with membership of a Home Office approved club for 6 months and show evidence to back up their application in terms of regular shooting and having adequate referees to support their application. Any grant for target shooting limits the use of the gun to Approved Shooting Ranges which is printed on the certificate.
If you doubt this then read the Guidance to Police by the Home Office on this subject of good reason to own a firearm - a whole chapter is devoted to it although a lot is devoted to the shooting of vermin and game.
Labour went further than the Conservatives and banned ISSF .22 cartridge pistols both single shot and semi-auto so GB is now completely sunk in terms of competing in these disciplines at Commonwealth Games and Olympics let alone other ISSF competitions.
