FAC Opened Up!

[Hmr Hunter 2]

Petty stoked. Had a call off Gwent today to say that they had received my letter and decided to open up my ticket for me. This is the 2nd letter I have written, had my ticket about 28 months, have 22 Rimmie, 17 HMR and 223 on it, hoping it all gets opened! Straight away means 2 more farms now open to me, well happy!

Is there any time limit to when you get a open fac? like do you have to have had it for 2 years or so.

Just i have a closed one and just got a few more bits of permission all of which say i could use my rimfire just make it easy if it was open.

Hey Tea Pot I think every area AND every case is different. I have heard of some guys having theirs open straight away! I have mates whose were opened up after a year, I was promised mine after a year but then refused after 18 months LOL, It's a right lottery mate, my advice is to write a letter every 6 months, that's what I did.

had my license 8 months and have a mentor condition on my .223 i have been out with him once sometimes twice a week for the last 8 months and he has now said to write in to get it removed in the letter i have also asked for my .22r/f to be considered for an open ticket so fingers crossed for me now has anyone else tried asking for the same thing

many thanks

definatley worth asking mate. I originally just asked for open fac air but ended up with an open ticket for everything on my license.

I don't think I even asked for mine to be opened they just did it, makes life easyer tho

also buddy

i know a few people that i shoot with that if the land has been passed upto say a 243 or even a 22lr and you have permission for that land then you can shoot on it just phone your officer up and ask him to check the land to see if it has and if so then tell him you have shooting rights on it and can you take your gun on there i found this out and its true just speak to them

 

as long as the land is passed you can shoot your rimfire on it depending what it is cleared for or upto speak to then and find out buddy

 

 

all the best

A closed ticket means you can only shoot on land where you have permission and where that land has been cleared by the FEO as suitable for various calibers. With an open ticket you can shoot on any land where you have permission but it doesn't have to be cleared by the FEO. this means that you are trusted to make a judgment yourself as to its suitability to discharge a firearm.

Unless the FLO tell you different, or decide , the cal you shoot is not suitable, on the land . Although you have a 'open'
