    You still need to have nominated land as you did for the grant. The open ticket allows you to shoot on any land that you have permission on but the onus on safety falls on you and rightly so. In a nutshell you still need a dedicated piece of land as your main ground as it gives the required good reason for ownership. AS above, and from what you say you appear to have no land now which means you currently have no need for the rifle or a FAC. What is this registering your gun to a piece of land, do you mean permission or clearance for the calibre or what? Deker I c

    If you have permision to use your rifle on a pice of land then that is sufficient. There isn't any system for registering specific guns to specific pieces of land - permission to shoot there is all you need. Best advice is to join a Home Office approved target shooting club as that will be sufficient good reason to keep your rifles if you lose your land. J. JonathanL So i can probably keep my rifle after all with my current verbal permission As for the shooting club , i was actually thinking along the same lines , and joining one , Thanks for the advice , John

    Thanks for your swift reply rowey So are you saying that the licensing officer will probably want written or verbal proof from the owner that i still have permission to use my rimmy on his land , or will the gun need to be registered to this property , in order to keep my FAC , John

    Hi all I'm about 3 years into my first FAC and i have a question . When the five years are up and my ticket is up for renewal , will i need to provide proof that i still have permission to use my Rimmy on any piece of land. The reason i'm asking is because the piece of land where my .22 rimmy is registered has been sold on to developers , and obviously , no shooting of any kind is allowed. I have however been able to find another permission to use the rifle , which is mainly from Highseats on the property. I have asked the owner if i can register my rifle to his property

    Hi all . I was just wondering if the law allows the transfer / sale of ammo privately between 2 people. If it is allowed , does the amount of ammo being sold / transferred , need to be written on the FAC of the person receiving the ammo , Many thanks , John

    Hi all I share a shoot with a couple of ferreters and i was just wondering if there is a closed season for hunting rabbits with ferrets. The reason i'm asking is because i've being going to a nearby estate for about a year and have been mainly shooting rabbits from a highseat on certain warrens. I have noticed that on the days when the rabbits are few and far between , the ferreters have loads of Rabbits hanging from their land rovers roof racks , and have clearly had a good day. As a non ferreter i was just wondering if there is a closed season in the uk which would then maybe

    Is that all Gulls , as i was told recently that you are still allowed to shoot the ' Lesser Black backed gull ' on the general license , John
  17. mjr88
    Thanks for the info lads Another quick question though : Is the Lesser Black Backed Gull smaller than the Herring Gull , as i would hate to shoot the wrong species by mistake , while they are in flight , John

    Hi all I was just wondering if you are still allowed to shoot gulls with a shotgun , as i seem to remember reading somewhere that they have been taken off the pest species list , Thanks , John
  19. mjr88
    i Went down to my permission earlier today for a couple of hours , hoping to bag a few woodies , and didn't even see one of the blighters What i did see though was quite a few Gulls. This leads me to my question : Is it still legal to shoot gulls with a shotgun , as i seem to have read somewhere that they have been taken off the pest control list. John

    Hi luke Why not go for a wander down to your nearest clay pigeon club. There you should be able to borrow a shotgun and use it under supervision. if you are a complete novice , then why not buy some private tuition from a qualified instructor ( i did ) Once you get the feel of a shotgun then you can think about owning one and finding some land to use it on , Good luck , John

    I bought my first .22 rimmy about 3 years ago and i also opted for the Cz Varmint. The rifle has performed faultlessly , and given the price of the cz range of guns i dont think that you can possibly go wrong. Mine is fitted with a Walther 4-12-50 ir scope , a scoplevel , and a parker hale silencer, John

    Louis 123 I bought my first shotgun about 2 years ago after many years shooting air rifles and the occasional rimfire. Like yourself i was on a budget ( mine was about £500 at the time ) so i asked about , went on chatrooms etc , and finally decided on a Lanber Sporting Deluxe 12g o/u The gun was about 4 years old at the time of purchase and i paid £450. The gun shop also threw in a cleaning kit for the price The reason i went for the Lanber was that a friend at work had owned one for 15 years and told me that they were reliable , and if the unexpected did happen and a problem

    I've owned my cz varmint .22 fitted with a parker hale silencer for about 3 years and i couldn't be happier . As sauer stated , the parker hale may not be as chunky and good looking as a sax , but i very much doubt that the sax is more effective in the field , especially if you use subsonic ammo like Winchester SuperX . You've also got to take into account the cost. Just my opinion of course , John
