Technically no, but also technically yes
If you ask F4I/NRA you don't need the UKPSA Competition licence to compete in IPSC L3; according to IPSC rules anyone can compete so long as their current IPSC chairperson grants them permission to compete.
The UKPSA won't allow anyone to compete in Level 3 matches who hasn't passed their safety course with sufficient skill to attain a comp licence.

If the NRA were to win the bid I assume they'd do away with this requirement but, as they provide their own course, I'm not convinced.

Failing that get in touch with Mick or Ian at Rossendale Fusiliers near Oldham

Cheers for the heads up! I'll certainly get up to Carlisle!

What does practical shotguning involve?
Thanks

Fun, acquiring more firearms, rinsing through cartridges, more fun. Careful - it gets addictive very quickly!

Sounds like a good excuse to get rid of the normal car and buy another pickup.

Look on the NRA website at http://www.nra.org.uk/ and you will find details of all the NRA Target Shotgun and Practical Shotgun matches together with entry forms.

There is no requirement to join any ‘special club” to participate (not even the NRA!).

For more details email James Harris, the NRA Shotgun Rep, at targetshotgun@nra.org.uk who was involved from the start of getting shotgun going and would be happy to assist.
