    Default S16 Sport application - Referrals

    I only recently started shooting lots more. (Pistol)
    I go to a local range and just have fun by myself.

    I acquired a new pistol and am in the process of obtaining a Sport-shooter's licence.

    The person helping me with the application wants: Sport shooting/character referrals.

    What can I give?

    Please help.

    As I understand it, you can only get a S16 license with dedicated status. Which would mean that you belong to an organisation that is registered with the police to award the dedicated status. There are quite a few around.

    Normally the sport shooting body wil issue a membership certificate as well as an endorsement certificate for the firearm in question.
    Contact your sport shooting body.

    They should also supply a DSS certificate to you if you are a sport shooter.

    I have never included a character reference in any of my previous 11 applications. The membership certificate, proof of paid up membership, endorsement letter and shooting reports is all that is needed.

    If you have the status. The add current certificate and letter of good standing of the shooting body that gave it to you. Not older then 3 months.

    I once was refused with reason letter older then 3 months.

    Character references are for competency not licenses.
