Make sure you carry a copy of the notification that your licence is ‘current’ when duck shooting!

Hmmm, this is all a bit confusing, my arms officer said i had 'passed' and i could collect both my firearms & ammo from my friends safe,

but i had to be supervised for waterfowl shooting on opening weekend and im not 'allowed' to have my own shotgun unless 'supervised' by a FAL owner with only one shotgun between us????

seems they 'make it up' as they go....?

I called up and was told I had been approved, same thing license 3-4 weeks away but was told I’m good to go hunting as I have a current license?

TThere seems to be a fair bit of admin work and multiple sign-offs required after security checks and referee interviews before the licence is made "current". It may be your security was “passed”, but your licence not necessarily made current. I'd call the arms office and seek clarification. Also, keep chasing the buggars - was the only way I was able to make any progress!
