Hi
just some thoughts
permissions are so hard to get, i mean really hard and very easy to loose !! You stand no chance at all by just emailling people
remember they are doing YOU a massive favor
they mostly will have had experience in the past where people have turned up with mates and shot up everything .... i heard this a few times when looking .....
you will need to go and see people and talk with them you have to get insurance really know your gun and set up what you can shoot and at what distance -they may well ask they need confidence that your not an idiot with a gun you need to get this across
somehow you need to convince a complete stranger that letting you walk round his land with a loaded gun is a good idea ..... he needs to know your responsible etc
absolutely forget taking any mate with you ....
Sorry to say but i think you may struggle ......
If i were you i would
join a club
ask around the family does anyone know anyone with some land etc maybe they can vouch for you
maybe get some references to you good character
remember it is you who is trying to get a permission best of luck
