Sounds like a plan. Keep me updated mate. Matt

Only just collected my SGL tonight and collecting my new SG on Saturday. Looking to get some practice in on Sunday so if anyone is shooting around Notts let me know as any guidance/shooting buddies etc etc would be great. All the best Matt

I too have been bitten by the shooting bug since two lessons was taken in June. I put in my SGL on 26 June to Notts police and haven't received a call yet and we are at 14 weeks. I've chased them twice to track it's progress but always told to expect upto 20 weeks. I'm surprised you've been...
