fac question

[jazz_11 5]

sending in for it in a few weeks just need to clear up everything... im thinking of joingin a local pest control club they have loads of land all fac approved.... now if i get my fac and the land im shooting on at the moment is approved will i be able to go out to the land the club has without informing the police or does every piece of land have to be registerd on your liscense if you understand me

im not sure how it works

if its your first fac it will say ie land deemed suitable chief of police for that area and calibre ( closed ticket)

As long as it s cleared and your ticket reads on land deemed suitable by the chief of police, you will have no problems

if it says MR Jazz can shoot and zero on mr smiths land (named land) then you will be limited to the named land.

 

but I am sure they stopped this restriction.

right cheers lads so aslong as th land has been previously deemed safe then its ok... im not in the club yet but i am hoping to its just i dont want to have to get my fac then have to mess around with putting other farms on which i could have done at the start. im ok with one farm as its already been deemed safe as the landowner has a fac...

for example

say i get accepted in the club i go on one of there shoots the land wont have to be on my ticket but it has to be fac approved..

sorry this whole things is confusing me

I've just sent off my FAC application, I am member of a rifle club also cleared (course completed) to shoot on MOD range for targets, I also put down name of a farm(with his permission) that cleared for game shooting including deer.

as this will be your first fac application then your certificate will be of a closed type . on application you will only need one named farm to shoot on which is fac rated by gwent police , the land owner will have to give you permission to use his name and address to apply . once you have your certificate then you can shoot on any land which has been approved by gwent police for fac`s as long as you have the landowners permission . you will however have to contact gwent police who will confirm the land is rated for fac and a letter of confirmation will then be sent to you .

after a period of four years you can apply to have your certificate changed to an open certificate , you will need to send your certificate back to gwent police along with a letter requesting a cert. change and your reasons for doing so . gwent police will then check how much ammo you have used during the four year period , if you haven`t used enough to warrant a fac then you will be refused .

if and when you get your open cert. you may then shoot on land that has not been passed for fac use by gwent police , but you will still need the landowners permission each and every time you use your firearm on his land . hope this helps jazz .

a word of warning though , gwent police are very strict on fac applications .

just out of interest , what is the pest control club you are joining ?
