I've got one (with slugs, obviously) for pretty much this- "Target shooting".

NRA/UKPSA/Other PSG Org memberships/safety course/competitions are one way of establishing "good reason" for a S1 shotgun for target shooting, but far and away not the only way.

Also if you have an F4i shoot nearby you can use that for good reason.

Just became a member of four4islands which is now classed as good reason!

this is an extract from there website

The Home Office guidance to the Police has been revised recently, specifically covering the area of “good reason” to possess certain types of firearm. Good reason to possess a Section 1 shotgun now includes being a member of the NRA or an NRA-affiliated club. Four4islands Club is NRA-affiliated and therefore membership provides you with good reason to posses a Section 1 shotgun for target or practical styles of shooting.

£20 a year and you get all the same insurance as BASC!
