rabbit_stu Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Had a look around and couldn't find an answer so please could someone shed some light... I'm struggling to find a permission to use as a reason for having a firearm for my application, but have a small bore club very close to me. If i became a member and used the club as a reason, as well as using the club for practicing while i search for some land to shoot, will I be able to just go out on the permission when I get it, or will I be limited by a 'club use only' condition or something? Thanks Stuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckyshot Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 (edited) You will be limited to range use only with non expanding ammonition. Once you find a farm that will allow you to use their farm to get the vermin condition added to your fac just send in your fac with a short letter explaining what you require and usually with either a signed permission form or the farmers contact details. The change on your fac will also be FOC. Edited November 9, 2011 by Luckyshot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxon88 Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 you will be granted a licence but there will be a condition on it saying you can only use it at the club. Once you find some land to shoot on they will change the conditions to something like.. for use on ranges and shooting over land deemed suitable by the chief of police.

Beardo Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 don't forget many clubs have a probationary period before you can join as a full member - so don't expect anything to happen fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperfection Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 don't forget many clubs have a probationary period before you can join as a full member - so don't expect anything to happen fast. Correct. Home office rules state a minimum probationary period is 3 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
