debaser Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Hello, The other day I got permiision on a bit of land, about 45 miles from where I live, but near work. I asked the local force if it's cleared for a rimmy....,,,,, And it is....but with conditions, backdtopp etc. Is this good enough to put in for a section 1? BTW this will be pest control on rabbits.

Paddy Galore! Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 deffo worth a try, might have to take elevated shots, such as from a high hide etc if there are issues with safe backstops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 I'm a bit confused by the suggestion here, but if it is cleared with a condition, it is cleared with a condition...meet the condition and you don't have a problem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debaser Posted June 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 How does it work then? Does your license have the condition on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colster Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 (edited) I don't understand what you mean by condition. Any land that is cleared will probably still have parts or directions in which you shouldn't shoot. The land behind me is cleared for .243 but there are parts of it I wouldn't use an air-rifle on. It's always down to the shooter to use his judgement as to what constitutes a safe shot regardless of what the FLO has cleared the land for. Putting that to one side though, you need "some" land to justify a FAC if it's for hunting, so yes that will do to use on your FAC application. While I'm at it, I'll answer a few more questions that you may find handy. For rabbits, go for .22LR and .17HMR (and FAC Air maybe). Buy a CZ452 for either rimmie, a SAK works pretty much as well as any other mod and doesn't cost much (remember to apply for mods on your application). Neither rifle needs anything special scope wise, any decent 3-9x40(or 50) will do. Edited June 9, 2011 by Colster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardo Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 I'd imagine cleared with a condition means something like "cleared for rimfire but only from a high seat", I've seen it before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debaser Posted June 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 Yep, it stipulates 300 meters from the entrance and shots to be taken in a east direction. Ive only got a section 2 at the moment so this is all new to me. I thought land was cleared for a calibre and that was it, I know that your FAC cert could stipulate conditions such as high seat etc but didn't know the land itself could have conditions. So I've learnt something new. Anyway, thanks for the replys. ATB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
