chunkyed Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Morning all, i had my shotgun renewal through the post earlier this week and im thinking of applying for my FAC. I only have 2-3 bits of permission where i could use it. I fear they might say no due to lack of ground. I was thinking of asking the local gamekeeper (where i have been beating for around five years) if i could put his estate down on my application. Iv been trying to gain some more permission for the past few months but no success. What other advice have people got? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimLondon Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 If your permissions can be cleared for the calibre you want then go for it. As for putting the estate down,only if you have permission to shoot there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Pick your best bit of land for you initial request, the one that you think you will hold on to the longest. (BASC do not advise you put down all of your permissions on your application) Then in the future you can go back to that one for your renewals, look after it well, as without them you have no reason to own a rifle unless its for target only. What calibre/s are you going for ? Your not too far away from me, one thing i would advise is join BASC or similar for help and advice specially as your new to FAC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunkyed Posted May 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 (edited) Thanks JimLondon. I know that 1 of the permissions i have got is cleared for .223. I was thinking of applying for a .222 or.223 or .204 along with a rim fire. I have been a member of BASC for around five years now.

malantone Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 hello Chunkyed, I applied for my FAC about 6yrs ago, my only perm was 12acres, the FEO was doubtful until I told him I would be using a High Seat, he then back my app which was granted.
