farmerguy.22 Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 hi i have had a request from a fellow farmer friend to shoot a problem patch on his acreage. i have had my certificate for about 2 1/2 months and at point 6 it says " The .22RF rifle, sound-moderator and ammunition shall be used for shooting verming and ground game and for zeroing on ranges, or land deemed suitable by the chief officer of police for the area where the land is situated and over which the holder has lawful authority to shoot." i know the land is cleared for centrefire rifle use and i have permision from the farmer to shoot it. i have not informed the police about shooting this land. As i am slightly confussed about what the quote is sayin could someone shed some light. i am unsure wether i can shoot the land or not. or do you sujest i just call them n ask? any help would be great! cheers FG.22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 I aint sure about the technicalities but i would STILL ring the police and let them know your out shooting and what with blah blah blah as you MAY get someone out walking their dog calling the police. If you let em know your there they know it's more that likely you and poss ring you to find out on your mobile BUT if you aint said they MAY send out an ARU LG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axe Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 The source of information regarding its clearance should come from the Police. Give them a call and ask if it is cleared and for what. If as you say, its cleared for a particular centrefire round then you will be ok to shoot it with your .22LR. If not, get your FEO to check the land and clear it for you. It is your responsibility and yours alone, to ensure you operate within the law. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
