Lucky Shot 1958 Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Afternoon All, I applied for a FAC on 25 Jan last,had the FEO interview on the 6 Feb all went well as far as I am aware. Doctors letter stated "No Concerns" I have 3500 acres to shoot on that has been passed for .306 this was confirmed in the "Land to Shoot on Form" from the head keeper. I applied for .22 for vermin and .243 Deer and vermin,I have held a SGC for over 40 years it's nearly 8 weeks since my initial application and I have not heard anything from the firearms dept,anyone else had to wait this long in Suffolk. Thanks in advance for your replies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
