Shooting UK: I'd like a Gun making apprenticeship..

Hi Alex,

It's not something I know a huge amount about, but I would think that the best place to start would be with either the Gun Trade Association or the livery company, the Worshipful Company of Gunmakers. The GTA has a website, www.gtaltd.co.uk but the Gunmakers company does not, however you can find contact details through google, I'm sure.

The livery companies historically were responsible for apprenticeships, but today, I suspect that you would be best off approaching the English gunmakers direct to find out about routes in to the trade.

I'd be interested to know if anyone can shed some more light on this for Alex. I'm afraid while I know apprenticeships do still exist, I wouldn't know how to go about applying or taking one up...

Are there any gun trade members who'd like to share their experiences out there?

Alastair.
