    bloody hell lads i cant believe the trouble some of you have, iv just applied for a first grant of a fac for .22lr, .17hmr and .22cf, ive spoke to my feo on the phone and he says as long as my land passes there will be no problems, i even asked if i would be given a mentoring condition for the .22cf and he said no they only issue mentoring conditions for deer, ive only had my sgc for about 8 months, although i have done a basc rifle awareness course which has gone in my favour, of course the ticket hasnt yet arrived this is just what im being told got my interview next week so i'll keep you po

    saying that if you have a criminal record you have no chance of getting a fac is not true, it all depends on what the offence was, for example if you was cautioned for criminal damage or a minor offence like that then you will not have a problem, where as if it is for violent offences, driving offences or fraud then its a bit more difficult, my friend has a sgc and he has convictions for drink driving and public order, i myself have a conviction for criminal damage when i was 16 (im now 23) and i got a sgc no problem, my feo also told me that this would not affect my chances of a fac, because

    cheers lads like i said never seen anything like it before. unfortunately when i was younger i was unable to shoot as no one in my family did, but now finding the countryside and starting to fit in more with it and the country people i encounter, and seeing nature like that to me makes it worth it, i went to work today and people were talking about there weekend all of which were virtually the same, stayed in watched t.v and played computer and i cant understand why they would rather do that, but each to their own i suppose. all the best adam

    hi guys, got a question im hoping maybe some of you could help me with, was out last week on the pigeons not much about at all, fired 3 shots all morning with 1 pigeon hit, about 10 mins after the pigeon was shot ( which i left out in the field as part of my pattern ) i saw a big bird in the sky, i would say it had a wingspan of about 2 ft, after about 2 mins it landed on my pigeon stood there for about 30 seconds and then flew off with it, it had a white head and a dark ( brown i think ) body,and im just curious as to what it was, i no its a very basic description but i just wondered if anyon
