The whole point here is for me to be able to take a small group of cadets, perhaps even as few as two per night, and give them good solid instruction with plenty of practice handling the gun. If I have to arrange a third party coming in I will have to instruct 25-30 cadets at once and with one gun they won't get much hands on.Don't you know anybody with a shotgun who could come along to the cadets meetings? If it was fitted with snapcaps, it would be as 'real' as it's going to get.
