weejase Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 why would you presume it will be an open ticket? Because I called my feo the other day to let him know that I had just got another bit of land to shoot :blink: He told me that I only needed one of my permissions checked as I would be on an open ticket :blink: Seemingly It Is the norm In scotland :blink: jase.

scout Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Devon and Cornwall use the following guidelines. You can request an open ticket after 3 years from initial issue with supporting information explaining your requirements. OR It will come back open automatically on renewal. OR If you complete the DSC1 course they will open it on completion. Spoke to Middlemoore recently and the above was the answer. Hope this helps Scout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdubya Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 I phoned up after I had my ticket for about 3 months and asked for more land to be checked as my ticket conditions were restricting me, was told send in copies of your permissions or phone numbers if not written, along with your cert, it came back 5 days later fully open this included .243 which I also asked for at the same time KW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooter Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 I got mine opened after nine months, but I have always sent in copies of my permissions, and this came to 3500 acres, plus I was using ammo like it was going out of fashion, and had put 3000 rounds through the HMR in four months and another 2000 through the .22LR. My variation for a centre fire. after twelve months, came in open as well, but I have got a lot more land now so I suppose it helps. It does depend on your FEO, and mine have always been great. My family in Scotland said that theirs are open from the start, lucky sod's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
