If the land's O.K and the FEO thinks you're O.K. Yes.

+ 1 as above mate .

+2 as above.

 

And as you probably know, you don't need to be the one accompanying the officer when he/she does the land inspection.

 

But if you are, then make a good impression by knowing in advance which are the safe areas to shoot, backstops, any footpaths, houses etc

[Lannyman8 3]

as above, know your beans when it comes to safety back stops and the carry / power of your weapons....

 

dont be scared to ask questions here either, or friends with a license as it can all become a little over whelming, rifle ammunition etc etc

 

and dont forget there is no such thing as a bone question.......

 

regards.

I was in the same boat a while ago, the landowner already had Shotguns & was cleared for a previous hunter, and my FEO didn't even check the land because it was on the land database, I had a google map printed out of the land along with the permission form for FAC regulated rifles (aswell as sub 12flb) when my FEO came for the interview, so everything was fine and I got the FAC.
