jamiethehunter 0 Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 I've had my fac for for about 10 years and allways shot on the same piece of land now i've been offered permission on another farm to controll fox and rabbit. At the moment my fac has my current shoot listed on it and my question is if i take up the new permission do i need to apply for an open ticket or have the land checked before i shoot there.

Gooner 143 Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 You need to get written permission which is then submitted to your local fac officer they will then inspect and let you know if the land is suitable. I would also go about trying to get an open ticket after 10 years it should be ok. Quote Link to post

After 10 years you should have an easy time getting an OPEN ticket, do that asap, saves a lot of ongoing grief!!! Quote Link to post

Sound advice already given so i wont repeat whats been said but try to find out if anyone else has previosly had police approval for your new patches. If someone else has already had approval for certain calibres on there it should make it easeir to get approval. Quote Link to post
cbw 4 Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Give the local firearms office a ring, mine checked on the computer and said straight away that I could shoot on a new farm. I took the officers name and then confirmed it in writing. CBW Quote Link to post
martin 332 Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 If you have had the Cert for 10yrs then they should of opened it already.What is the wording on your cert as it stands now?If it is already 'open' then you don't need to get the FLD involved at all................martin.
