Scully Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 Good for you! Mine expired 16 Oct 2016, and FEO has issued me with S7 permits with expiry dates of May 2017. If there wasn't such a thing as S7 permits I wouldn't be shooting this season. License fee worth every penny? Ten year tickets? At this rate I'm paying for a 4 year and 4 month one!

GingerCat Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 Mine expires in 10 days and they have had it for 14 weeks. Was told they are still doing checks. What checks I don't know as the checks they complete done take 14 minutes let alone 14 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rim Fire Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 Its a joke everywhere you go they are behind and its there own fault with the system they got forinstance with a shotgun if you want a new one you go and have one taken off and one put back on all done at the shop where you bought it from why cant you go and have one rifle taken off and a new one put straight back on as long as it is the same calliber in stead of sending it back to your local FAO who then takes what ever time to have changed then sends it to you causing a back log and work load for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is time for a complete re think that brings the process up to date the shotging organisations have the data regarding delays, S7 and costs etc and should be knocking on the home office door demanding a real change to the process.
