SportingShooter 0 Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 When you have put down a .223 and a .22 in their respective slots. In the next two empty slots, put .22 Moderator and .223 Moderator. One slot per Mod. And fill in the details in the other fields the same as for the calibres. A good reason for Mods are Health & Safety i.e. Hearing Protection. As for books, I'm no expert on books. I have Foxing with Lamp and Rifle by Robert Bucknell. Two rough shooting books by Mike Swan, and I can't remember the other! Those are my three main books. Stalking I'm no expert really, I'll let the serious stalkers give you some recommendations.

Fidgety 8 Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Guru I am not! Books i found useful are; The Sporting Rifle by Robin Marshall Ball, and Firearms Law - Guidance to the Police 2002, published by the Home Office. The latter should be on everyone's bookshelf IMHO !

Fidgety 8 Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 SS, I suspected you might have a very well thumbed copy! It's one of those books that you just can't help looking at - great help when you are new to FAC/SGC, and even more help clarifying the law for peace of mind! Quote Link to post
SportingShooter 0 Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 I find it handy for controlling FEO's in full flow as well Quote Link to post
Fidgety 8 Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Hope this helps AzMaN! Quote Link to post
SportingShooter 0 Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 It probably is the most useful book you can have in the UK, if you are an applicant or holder of an FAC / SGC I must say And yes, I hope it helped Quote Link to post
AzMaN 0 Posted December 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 (edited) Ive had a glance over it in the past, but i think a trip to the works printer is in order, not printing out 200+ pages on an inkjet oh and a trip to the local libary wherever it may be. thanks for all this advice, its much appriciated.

No, thats at the side of my Laptop in a very shabby state from flicking through it for this place In the great scheme of sad bedtime reading this one is actually quite good..yep, available to download in it's entirety from the web but fortunately I have a printed copy. About time it was undated..been a lot of changes..but stilll VERY useful... Quote Link to post
