Open(ish) Fac :)


Recommended Posts

Well it has taken 2 requests, the first was turned down about 6 months ago so I thought whilst my FAC was in to have a 22-250 added I would ask them to remove condition that land be cleared on my HMR and FAC shotgun.

 

I said I was happy for the condition to remain on the 22-250 as its my first CF and I knewe there was no way they would open it up.

 

So that 2 years before first renewal. It all came about because I realised that I could only legaly use my Section 1 shotgun on cleared land. My FEO agreed that was quite restrictive.

 

Should open a few more doors :good:

Good news for the unrestricted shotgun, it always helps when you dont have to get police involved on farm land, i lost loads due to it, once condition changed it was so much easier. plus i can go to friends permissions and shoot rather that be an observer.

 

you 22.250 is not great news how ever.

 

Taken from BASC.

For Muntjac and Chinese Water deer only- a rifle with a minimum calibre of not less than .220 inches and muzzle energy of not less than 1000 foot pounds and a bullet weight of not less than 50 grains may be used.

 

For all deer of any species - a minimum calibre of .240 and minimum muzzle energy of 1,700 foot pounds is the legal requirement.
