Shooting sports as a visitor

#1 Post by lovemovies22 »

I came to London with my sister a decade ago. We had a wonderful trip to see the sights. If someone were to get to know me and sponsor me to come to England and actually get involved in the shooting sports such as Target shooting and competitive shooting. Of course, we would have to get to know eachother first. I would have to get a visitors permit.

You have already asked about the application process for an FAC. Do you belong to a gun club?

Where are you wishing to visit from? And why would you need a sponsor to visit?

Which competitive event were you looking to enter here in the UK....?

Given the situation with the virus, I can't think there will be anything you could come over for in 2021?

The Imperial. Any of the GR matches, there are many others planned. Assuming one could travel from their country that is. We, however, seem to let anyone in.
Arming the Country, one gun at a time.

Good deals with Paul101, Charlotte the flyer, majordisorder, Charlie Muggins, among others. Thanks everybody.
