HDAV Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 So I’m in the county of Cardiff and there are no RFD’s I’m aware of in the county. so is it a “reasonable excuse” Welsh regs to travel further to visit an RFD? And should that be the nearest RFD or can I go to the one I prefer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDAV Posted October 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 (edited) BASC released some guidance today that basically allows pest control and beating as a “reasonable excuse” but recreational shooting isn’t no reply to my specific issue tho.....

Basically if it work, pest control, beating etc you can travel but if it’s for enjoyment you can’t so on a driven a shoot the beater can come from outside the lockdown area the guns can’t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anything in place to recompense the guns and the estate? Edited October 2, 2020 by Scully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to go corvid shooting and obviously because they are difficult to kill need to get their eye in on a few pheasants first ( just a little light humour in this confusing time ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on my 5th different estate tomorrow and they are all doing something different but they all have a common theme.

If the estate is in a local lockdown area yes (not sure there are many sporting estates in the valleys tho) chances of being stopped are low but as I’m considering selling some Guns not going on a driven shoot, the police will know when I sell a gun and where I live so unless buyer lives in the same county seems an easy target also I’m considering a commission sale and preferred RFD is not in same county (as there are none) BASC called to advise I contact my licensing dept for a reference to travel.
