The club is vouching for you in terms of having shown enough dedication to attend shoots for 6 months, safe range behaviours and good safety record.

I like that kind of system, coz it weeds out some of the Rambo types and guys who make snap decisions.

Not sure that affiliation thing is gospel these days, think there are a couple clubs not affiliated that have been sanctioned. Also I'd be interested to know if any prospective B catter has been rejected by his club after the probie period due to unsafe practice etc and not ended up with a b endorsement. If any haven't, then the system is not working. Reason I bring that up is I have seen some dodgy shite at more than one club I was a member of. Usually from "imports", and I've thought, "how the f did they get through...?" Now if the clubs are doing their job properly, there would have to be a pertcentage of people not being sponsored through to their B, right? If everyone that try's gets their B, it's a mockery of the process.
