The UK's Finest Independent Forum for Shooters and Gun Owners. Est 2010.

I was thinking about obtaining shooting insurance and came across an offer from SSA. Googling failed to find any policy details but the sales blurb claimed sporting air rifles, rifles and shotguns, so I emailed them.

The response confirmed that they would not cover muzzle loaders, black powder revolvers or flintlocks. I never thought about asking about my LBR, but that is a moot point.

Just shows sometimes it pays to look at the small print..

It also pays to ask why their sales blurb says one thing which seems misleading. Many people are not as shrewd as you and may well have bought a policy thinking they were covered.

Always ask for a copy of the policy schedule and read it top to bottom. Many are now written in plain(er) English. The nasty bits are usually at the back.
