Tornado1979 145 Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 Hi, My lad come out with me today while I checked zero on .22RF, he's 10, he loved it with binoculars checking targets. In the future I'm sure he would like to get into it, what's the law and age restrictions with using FAC under supervision on private land ? Tried calling BASC today but couldn't get through.

SportingShooter 0 Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Strictly speaking, without your lad holding a firearms certificate, he couldn't shoot your rifle until he was 17 under the "Estate Condition", If he did have a firearms certificate, that would lower to 14 which is the youngest you can be granted one, It is possible to apply for a firearm certificate on his behalf before he reaches 14 but the only time I've known that used is for up and coming target shooters.
