njc110381 Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Well still no land inspection yet! I just phoned them to have a moan, it's got to be about a month since the visit and I'm getting impatient now. All the little bunnies running round, I need to get and sort it soon or I'll be in it with the farmer. It's getting much harder to stalk them lately, they seem to be getting smarter by the day and I need more range than the air rifle can give me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet you are getting really annoyed having done all the forms etc, being inspected and then waiting all this time for clearance on your land.

njc110381 Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Luckily for me, the farmer is a really nice guy who knows it'll be sorted as soon as possible. I just struggle on with the air rifle and shotty. I can get them with the shotty well enough, but I tend to mash them up more than I'd like and a lot get wasted. I'm sure it shouldn't be much longer, now I've nagged them a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taffygun Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 phone them back, tell them its unacceptable and can you have an open ticket. I was lucky as I had already been informed by the FEO previously that my land was already passed for upto .222 calibre, so that saved a lot of time. I also made a phone call on Monday about another farm I got and thats already passed for upto .223 so I can use that land but they would like me to send in the land usage form anyway so they have it on file, but it won't need inspecting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njc110381 Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Maybe they just like to know if there is a shooter on a certain bit of land, in case of the dreaded ARV being called? It's not a legal thing though, unless the ticket is old and still has the set land rule instead of "any land deemed suitable by the chief dude". I'm not going to get stroppy with them about anything yet, I like to get on well with them if I can because it makes life easier in the long run. They still have another month before it takes as long as the shotty cert did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taffygun Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 but they would like me to send in the land usage form anyway *** is this please. Here in Gwent you gotta apply for land to be used by me(with permission obviously) for the calibres I want to use on such land....They can tell you over the phone by checking on the computer if the land has previously been passed and for upto which calibre.

SPARKIE Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 unless the land like mine at 1 time was passed and now isnt due to the computer network getting linked together by all forces a lot of it was lost had to have mine rechecked was there with the guy and he wouldnt pass it for centrefire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellier0437 Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 i applied a few months ago and just got mine last week, my problem was thet my land is in a different county to my home, and the police took ages to find out how to talk to each other efficiently, in the end i had to lease with both forces separately!

njc110381 Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 My land was cleared for .22rf and .17hmr today. I'll have to use a high seat to take shots from which is a shame, but at least I can use a rifle there and get my cert sorted. Now another wait for the ticket to arrive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contacted my FEO today, and she had my completed FAC sitting in front of her (she inspected my permission last week, and deemed it open for the rimmy ) ... and she will deliver it to me in person, to just go over a couple of exeptions on the land, hopefully next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
