Replying from Belgium, so probably not of much practical use for you, but here goes: I am part of a sport shooting club (clay pigeon shooting) and part of a small hunting syndicate. Hunting as in rough shooting, not the horse & hound variety.
As a result I regularly shoot with my shotgun and - a bit less regular, since only for hunting situations - with my rifle.
In fact my Terrano2 came with a DIY gun cupboard in plywood, as regulations here in Belgium oblige one to always transport a gun unloaded, with trigger lock, and not within reach. I recently bought the T2 for use while out in the fields, transporting pheasant feed, my dogs, and the occasional roe deer or wild board

One tip though: even if not mandatory in the UK, do get a gun/ammo safe. The bigger the better, since most likely you want more than 1 gun, and as sturdy as possible. Gives one peace of mind when not at home - I wouldn't want my guns to be lying around ready to be found byany visiting kid or burglar...

Hi welcome dude, cheers for the post. Infact we are in Denmark at the moment visiting family

The uk laws are very strict but we are interested in getting involved. Once we move to bedfordshire we will likely join this club
