sean85730 5 Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Okay. Bit of a daft question but I've not been able to track down the answer, As I mentioned in my intro post I'm looking at going down the FAC route (I'm getting a bit more experience air rifle hunting first!) and have just found a local target shooting club who offer both target and sporting rifle competition. So, If I got a rifle on fac for target shooting is it possible to Change the fac to include pest controll at a later date? Sean Quote Link to post
sean85730 5 Posted November 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Awesome stuff, Next question (I need to double check with the club too) but if I got the okay from the club, would the rifle being kept there be okay to start an FAC on, I'm in rented digs and they are none too happy about an FAC rifle. So is it possible to start fac with the rifle held by my club? Sorry for the stupid questions the Lincolnshire FEO I rather busy and cannot give me advice for a number of weeks!

walshie 2,804 Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Also yes. A lot of people keep their guns at a club for one reason or another. Quote Link to post
sean85730 5 Posted November 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Thank you very much mate! I may grab an application form next week then Sean Quote Link to post
walshie 2,804 Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 No worries. Go and see the people at the club first though. Most clubs you have to serve a probationary period before you become a full member. This is normally 3 or 6 months. You won't be able to apply for an FAC for target shooting until you are a full member. Discuss the best way forward with them. Quote Link to post
sean85730 5 Posted November 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 That is sound advice. I shall pop over to see them next week thank you again! Sean Quote Link to post
Deker 3,491 Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 As walshie says, Home Office Approved Clubs must have a minimum of 3 months probation, my club is Home Office but our probation is 6 months. It is very unlikely you will be granted a FAC for target work during your probation, so the sooner you have a chat with/join a club the better! Quote Link to post
sean85730 5 Posted November 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 The soonest I can get a chat with them is Friday so three months (minimum) Is January, at worst April... Thanks both of you Sean Quote Link to post
