Tomm Posted February 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 hopefully mate, not many people around me have FAC that i know of and the ones that do are a bit of a miserable bunch:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimfire4969 Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Do you need any caliber in particular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted February 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 i have applied for a .22-250 so as long as the mentor has the same or a bigger caliber then it will be fine. they must also have an open certificate, i have been informed by firearms that the motoring must take place on my permission, he has also confirmed that target shooting would be fine and it does not have to be on live animals as the land owner is not happy with having other parties shoot quarry there as he has been let down in the past with people returning without permission so has limited the motoring to two fields with a shooting range of 400 meters, fuel will be paid for and also an hourly charge as there will be home game shot, many thanks Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eccles Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 shame you are not up this way i would do it for free give a bit back to any one that needed it? some one few years ago helped me out IAN Its ok if Ian is teaching you to shoot,but don't let him teach you how to use a circular saw because he nearly cut his thumb off Same here mate would take you out with pleasure.It must be a pain when you've got to have a mentor.Good luck though, must be someone down your way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimfire4969 Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Sorry I can't help I don't shoot any rifles big enough. I am sure there must be someone down here that can help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 As others have mentioned, I would do it for free for you. I have an open ticket up to .308 caliber. The distance between us is obviously too far, and that's a shame. I have mentored two people already, with another one coming up soon. Good luck with you quest, I hope you get someone to help you out. Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
