bicykillgaz Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 (edited) hi guys i have come to the conclusion after many hours walking and door knocking that i am unlikely to get any permission of my own due to the amount of syndicate shot land in the area, so i am looking to find somone locally who i can go out with even if its just to lamp for you till you get to know and trust me enough to shoot with you, i'm a relatively new but safe shot i've had my fac and shot gun tickets for 2 years and am insured with basc. i'm not after stealing anyones land or going out on my own on your permission i just want to get out again and get a few rabbits for the dog and hopefully learn from a more experienced shot in the process and be able to justify keeping my fac as at the minute i'm just not using the rounds if you can help pm me, any help would be really appreciated thanks in advance gary Edited December 28, 2009 by bicykillgaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blunderbuss Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 i have to ask , if you already have an FAC why do you need to tag along ? did you not already have your own permision and had to display a certain level of competence ? Could be a target rifle with an approved ranges only condition? If so nowt to stop him later putting in for a change of condition if he finds appropriate land and has good reason.

bicykillgaz Posted December 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 i have to ask , if you already have an FAC why do you need to tag along ? did you not already have your own permision and had to display a certain level of competence ? JRS i use to have nearly 1000 acres but since moving i have non and i don't drive so never get to my old permission , maybe tag along was the wrong choice of words but i said i would want to tag along so the person i would be going with could get to know me, as everyone seems to be a little suspicious of people they don't know when it involves there permission which is fair enough, and so i could also get familliar with the land before shooting it, i wasn't implying im incompetant i'd just rather know the land i'm on and the person i'm with before taking my guns out if i'm every down your way doc i'll pm you mate cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluebarrels Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 no i can arrange for my wife to drop me off if its not within walking distance i meant to direct the post to people local to me in the gainsborough area prefereably, i also spend most sundays at messingham nr scunny if there is anyone out that way Im origionally from Broughton,just outside s****horpe do you know it? plenty of shooting land that way,might be worth looking a bit further out,as you say your missus can drop/pick you up.Will drop you a Pm next time i head that way,if your interested in a clay day,, dont worry about transport mate ,will ask a few of my mates up there, if anything is going in the way of shooting(cant promise anything)but will have a word for you,as you say syndicates shoot most of the land and most find it hard going getting a permission,but dont give in, i know the area very well and know how much land is available,and once you secure some land,more will surely follow its a trust thing.Good luck mate BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
