Boomboom Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Hi guys, i am in the process of applying for my FAC,i have 1 permission to put down at the mo, but was just wondering if you think it would be ok to put down my local golf course as another, or do they generally not allow golf courses on you FAC? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bedwards1966 Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 I don't know, I don't see any reason why it would be a concern to them unless it's very near houses or got lots of footpaths etc. You might have to tell them about it in order to get it passed for whatever rifle(s) you're asking for, unless it's already been cleared or you get granted an open certificate.

welsh1 Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 I shoot two golf courses with .22 and .17hmr,it is treated the same as having any land cleared,you just have to be aware of your back stops. One of my courses has houses running down the side of it,so i only use the .22 when there,it saves having someone complain about the noise at 2am when i am shooting. And when i crawl into the trees to retrive the rabbits shot i always find a couple of golf balls,all in good condition,i throw them in the rucksack and leave them on one of the tees,i once left 16 golf balls on tee 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bothbarrels Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 All you have to do is phone your loc FAO, and ask if the ground has been passed for FAC,they can check within minutes on thier computor, if it's not they will come and assess it. Thats what my FAO told me when I was granted my lisence. BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
