Guest basil46 Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 If you have the land for an FAC then go for that aswell, shotgun certs dont require land just a good reason.E.g, If you apply for both you will need a letter from a landownder saying you have permission to shoot on his land and with the rifle you want. A good reason could be destruction of vermin or fox. A good reason for your shotguns could be clay shooting, rough shooting and vermin control. As long as you have the land, the reason and the security then you should have no problems getting both at the same time, however, it may be easier and more beneficial for you if you have your shotgun certificate for a while first as it shows you have experience with firearms. But he has experience, just not the right sort!! You have nothing to lose by trying mate. Just be honest on your application, after all, twenty years is a long time. basil. Quote Link to post

SportingShooter 0 Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 soory mate dont mean to hijack this but got a quick quistion... can 3/4 and full choke be used on game.. e.g. rabbit pigeon crow. cheers lads all the best It most certainly can but it tends to be more difficult to shoot things with it and means that in most circumstances you have more shot in the meat.
