lxtav Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Got my sgc in december for doing the clays and loving it. Now thinking what about getting a fac. Idea arose as the clay ground i am a member of is thinking about putting a 400 yrd range in as well. I know i couldnt get a fac for vermin as i dont have time for a permission due to work and the 10 acres my parents an i own is surrounded by houses and even if cleared i wouldnt be happy shooting on it. So started looking at small bore rifle clubs, big mistake. Now i am trying to figure out if i should take this up as well. Couldnt afford it right now but a year or so could be differnt as i dont think it would go down well with the wife just now. I just know it would start as a .22 target rifle then i would have to get a fullbore target rifle later. Could i justify it as you know you only need one gun lol. Knew this shooting lark was addictive but.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livefast123 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Target shooting is great fun and needn't be that expensive. Most target clubs have a waiting list so I would get my application in now so that when your probation is up (our club is 6 months) you can apply for your FAC. I use mostly .22LR's for fun plinking and when I get my full membership will be applying for a Marlin 357/38 and a .44 Black powder revolver that will get used when I fancy a bigger bang. For some reason they have given me my target condition when im not a full member but have said I need to be signed off as competant in each caliber I use there. They have lots of club guns that you can use 10/22,CZ 452, .243 centrefire, 357 Marlin, 45 black powder rifle and a .44 black powder revolver.

njc110381 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 I did a simialar thing. Once I had my shotgun certificate the FAC wasn't far behind. It's all the fault of a bloke on here who let me shoot his Sako TRG.... Well there was no going back once I'd experienced that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew a 5-gun cab was a seriously limiting factor..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadkill Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 This is how i look at it , I already have a gun cabinet . So to the other half it doesn't matter if there is one gun in there or 6 . She will never know as i'm the only one with the key and its on me all the time . She also doesn't notice when i leave with an empty gun slip and come back with it full . Thank god i have a seperate bank account so that she can't keep checks on me there either. Roadkill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
