Few Questions for the Guru's

[AzMaN 0]

Howdie all,

 

Im looking for some information from all you guru's (and im sure SS will be one of the first to post here, he normaly is )

 

Anyways, Question 1: Uppon filling out my FAC form, for a 22LR and a 223 for fox (hopefully) if i wish to include a sound moderator to these rifles, where to i put on the form that i intend to do so?

 

Question 2: As said above im filling out my FAC form, apart from knowing your quary and rifle safety, land boundrys ect. are there any good books on stalking ect, or just genral vermin control to broaden my knowlage of the art that is shooting.

 

thanks in advanced for reading this.

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.

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 !

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!

I find it handy for controlling FEO's in full flow as well

Hope this helps AzMaN!

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

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.
