lozrob Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Hi. when appying for a FAC license , ( something like 17hmr or 22 hmr to kill rabbits with ) do you actually need a landowner to verify your application on a specific piece of land / farm etc. or can you just apply like a shotgun license. i have a few permissions already that i can shoot my 22 air rifle on but its getting more difficult to get near the rabbits . i would need to apply for an open ticket i know, but was just wondering.

Rst1990 Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 You need to hand over the land owners details so plod can verify you have the permission on said land. You will be lucky to get a open ticket on first application so tell them all the land you shoot on so they can pass it off and add it to your file.

Uncle Albert Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Yes they need contact details of the landowner, where you will be using your rifle.then they will phone him,or sometimes meet him In person. They will need to clear the land for shooting unless it has already been done. This is different from shooting with an air rifle as a .22 rimfire bullet can give you a very nasty headache from about a kilometer so it has to be safe. They generally go out and check the land with the owner or their foreperson ( nearly said Foreman, not PC ). My FEO went round the golf course with the Head Greenkeeper, even though I had been shooting with air rifle for a few years previously. You will need to include a letter of permission from the land owner with your application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
