saggy61 Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Hi all Thanks for taking the time to read this I have been living in Nottingham for the past 7 years and I am having trouble getting anywhere to shoot. I’m looking for somewhere to go vermin, pigeon and rabbit mainly but I will take on more or less anything I am in the process in applying for Fac. I have been shooting for over 20 years and I have a very good friend who has taken shooting up in the last couple of years and we are keen to get in the fields again I’m sitting here now pulling my hair out because when I lived in Norwich I had nearly 2,500 acres to shoot on, bit of a long way to go for a day out... We are both full BASC members and very responsible. Please could someone help before I go bald!! Thanks Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rushjob Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Hi mate good luck with the land search but to obtain and FAC you will land to get it granted,so no land no FAC If you read it again, he says he's getting his FAC for work ( professional pest control perhaps? ).... then he says he hopes it will be open so would like some land.... ( for his own non work shooting perhaps? ) So the no land, no FAC bit is irrevelvant in this case......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
