IanS 3 Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 I have recently joined a small bore club and they recommend I put in for my FAC now which makes sense with the waiting but at present I don’t have any permission to shoot so I guess I can only apply for licence for sporting club shoots? Will it cost me extra to add rabbit/pigeon hunting to the FAC categories at a later date since I presume no permission to shoot at present will mean unlikely to get hunting as a category on first application?

doddsy1970 9 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 The changing from a target FAC to a sporting FAC may require a varition if you require expanding ammuntion. Expanding ammunition will not be granted for target shooting, so you will be limited to solid bullets only and shooting solids at rabbits is just asking for the bullet to pass through the quarry and then ricochet.
