kip270 Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Do you have an OPEN ticket, or is it land deemed suitable by the Chief of Police for your area??? Just write a letter with details of the land and send it off to the Firearms dept, or have a chat with your FEO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robby22 Posted March 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 i have a closed ticket-so its only land deemed suitable by my feo, but have since acquired permission for another 500 acres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duey Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 (edited) As long as the new land is already cleared for your caliber of rifle then you do not need to inform them. If you are unsure as to if it has already got clearance then phone your FEO and ask him if it's on their system as land already cleared, if not, as long as the owner of the land has no objections then get him to come out and check it out Ian Edited March 18, 2008 by duey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver_fox Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 My local FEO left me with a load of blank forms for land owners to sign their permission to shoot. It covers the calibres of weapons and what the quarry is. I then send these to him and if there's a problem with the land they let me know. Also, our county police force have a dedicated phone number to call to let them know when and where you're out shooting. It stops them sending out an armed response vehicle in case some local reports you. We're very lucky that the force is supportive of shooters.

A Sick Old Man Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Robby I would contact your FLO and ask his advice, if you have a closed ticket you must only shoot on land that you have permission on ( Pref written permission ) And the land MUST be deemed suitable by the Police for you to use your rifle on, It takes no time to call your FLO and get his advice, and as always try to get things in writing and keep everything. Trust me when the wheel falls off you will need all this information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Just phone your FEO with the name of the farm and ideally the postcode. If your force is reasonable (mine isn't!) they will tell you over the phone. Otherwise you have to write in and they will write back to you with the info. Clearing land is free. If you can, try to walk around with them and explain exactly what you want to use there (or may ask for in future) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
