Sergeant Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 The one i get confused over is the "...for zeroing" part. On my cert no where does it mention target shooting. Does this mean that i can ring plod and ask him to change the conditions of use to add target shooting without charge or do i have to get a letter of authorisation for every range that i want to use?

Is it something to do with land deemed safe to shoot by the Chief of Police(CoP),although are,nt shooting grounds vetted by the MoD.I can't see the Mod stating a ground is safe to shoot for a certain calibre and the CoP disagreeing Good Question though because I joined a Rifle Club after a few years as a Varmint Shooter and this particular club is'nt stated on my ticket so i'm in a similar posistion to you Sarg . Hope My Understanding is correct I have 1500 Possess and 1000 purchase RF 500 Possess and 300 purchase .223 Ive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Hi guys, I do a bit of target shooting and my FAC states that I can use the rifle "on MOD approved ranges" Which basically means any club or open range as they all have to approved by the MOD/Home office. I applied for 500 round to buy and hold 600 and it was not even questioned. Cheers MC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim38curl Posted October 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Thanks everyone, have applied for 1000 buy and 1200 hold. Will see what they have to say. Suppose they can only say no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 I do a bit of target shooting and my FAC states that I can use the rifle "on MOD approved ranges" How did you come by hyaving that statement on your cert. did you initially ask for target shooting as well as vermin or did you have to send in a variation?
