FAST PROCESS

Nice that there is a company prepared to do the medical report now that GPs won't.

Be honest to be honest was a great service and a quick turn around course an impressive service that it is on everybody’s mind when they want to renew their shotgun certificate. It is becoming harder and harder to get one. I think at the end of the day they don’t want to have a shotgun but all credit, this is a good service, especially if you’re working there’s no pain. There’s no hassle. Quite impressed.Russ Palmer

My GP practice does not supply medical certificates but ShootCert took on the task on my behalf. The process was straightforward and information re 'what happens next' was clear. My GP practice uploaded my medical history to the ShootCert portal approx 3 weeks after the request and ShootCert reviewed and issued my Medical Certificate/Form 201 a couple of days later. All very efficient.

Keep Shooting affordable

This is the second time that I have used this service for both F.A.C. & R.F.D. renewals, have nothing but praise for their service, My Doctor wanted £115.00 for tick box paperwork, many thanks ShootCert for helping a truly bashed shooting sport, also quicker than my surgery.

Extremely efficient

Extremely efficient. Sadly my GP was very slow but responded instantly to the "unresponsive GP letter" and provided the medic records the following day. My certificates were renewed before the end of the month.

ShootCert have been absolutely fabulous in helping me with my medical records for my FAC/SGC renewal.
Extracting the information from my GP was a long and tortuous process that easily exceeded the mandatory guidelines. ShootCert kept me up to date throughout and repeatedly chased the GP on my behalf.
When the records were finally sent through to them.
ShootCert processed them the same day and provided me with everything required.
I couldn't have asked for any more and completely recommend them for anyone undergoing a grant or renewal.
