    Does anyone know anywhere in Dublin that run a shotgun competence course? How much does it roughly cost and how long does it last?

    You cant value someones life or your own life, so how long it takes doesnt matter. The tips and advice you learn from this are invaluable, the longer the lesson takes the better as it would be set in stone in your brain then for life :)
