CFC Skill Builder UK Firearms Course

UK Firearms courses such as CFC Skill Builder cannot run in the UK due to their tactical and dynamic nature and UK firearms regulations. On the CFC Skill Builder course, we teach intermediate rifle and pistol handling, shooting techniques and tactics that are impossible to run on UK Firearms courses in the UK. This course consists of lots of dynamic movement, working in pairs, engaging multiple targets and requires full calibre semi-automatic rifles and pistols, which are illegal to possess in the UK. Therefore running CFC Skill Builder or a similar course in the UK is impossible. The good news is that Wroclaw Airport in Poland is only 2 hour flight away and easy to get to. Once you land in Wroclaw, we will pick you up and deliver you to the hotel near our facility

What kind of firearms training I can get in the UK?

Due to very strict firearms regulations in the UK there it's impossible to do some types of firearms training for example:

- Pistol training in the UK is forbidden. Pistols are illegal in the UK with one exception under Section 5 of Firearms Licensing. You have to be a firearms trader and you have to apply directly to Home Office for a Section 5 License which is extremely hard. You have to prove that your business depends on sales of Section 5 Firearms. In general private citizens will find it extremely hard to get if not impossible to obtain a Section 5 Firearms License. There is one more exception that you may be able to get a pistol that was produced before 1990 under Section 7.3. There are two options here you can either own a pistol and shoot it, but it has to be stored in the shooting range, or you can have one at home and without the possibility to shoot as you won't be able to travel with it. All pistols under Section 7.3 must have significant historic importance.  

- Semi-Auto Rifle Training in the UK is forbidden too. There is one exception as Semi-Auto Rifles in small baby .22lr calibre are legal. You won't be able to shoot and train in the UK with the original AR15 Semi-Auto in .223/5.56mm calibre.  AR15 in .223 are available in the UK under Section 1, but they have to be bolt-action mode which means you have to manually load around in a chamber after each shot. AK47 in Semi-Auto in 7.62mm are also illegal in the UK and you won't be able to shoot them no to mention get a proper AK47 UK training course. Like with AR15 there is a possibility to get an AK replica in small .22lt calibre in semi-auto or 7.62mm version in a bolt action. 

- UK Defensive firearms training - I do not know about any range that runs a defensive firearms course where an instructor teaches how to use a firearm to protect your home and family. It's simply illegal in the UK. YES! Learning how to protect home and family is ILLEGAL in the UK. In the UK you must depend on the state and police to protect you, but as you probably know well they are never there when someone breaks into your home. They come after with their investigation, but it's always too late. So you can forget to learn Concealed Carry techniques in the UK, due to UK strict firearms laws. Of course, you may find an instructor who will run some sort of "firearms classes" with the use of airsoft pistols, which is good to start with, but if you are looking for proper training you have to seek it outside the UK. 

- Close Protection Firearms UK Training. We have already established that pistols are illegal in the UK with some very rare exceptions so the same law applies to cpo officers in the UK. It's illegal for UK CPO Teams to carry firearms, but sometimes you are deployed with a cpo mission to a High-Risk Country and you are issued with a firearm to protect your principal. In the UK you won't get proper firearms training for the Close Protection Team and again you have to seek it outside of the UK. 

Is any Firearms Training other than STATIC single-shot shooting available in the UK?

YES! There is a possibility to participate in what is called PRACTICAL SHOOTING. There are two options to do some sort of dynamic firearms training in the UK. 

1. Practical Shotgun - you need to have Section 1 Shotgun which is classified as a Firearms and registered under Firearms certificate. Section 1 Shotguns are all the shotguns that have more than two rounds capacity. To get one you have to go through the full Firearms Licensing process with your local Police in the UK. 

1. Practical Rifle - there are Shooting Ranges in the UK which allow practical rifle shooting with .22lr calibre in semi-auto. There is a bit of fun with it, as you can move and shoot moving targets etc. We personally know two UK Shooting Ranges which do this type of training and they are The Tunnel and Silverstone Shooting Range.
