FAC Wording

My ticket (initial grant) says:

"The firearms and ammunition shall be used for target shooting and only whilst a member of Staveley rifle and pistol club on ranges suitable for the safe use of that class of firearm and with adequate financial arrangements in place to meet any injury or damage claim"

It doesn't specify who has to pay for the financial arrangements. I'm in the NSRA which gives me cover but possibly not whilst plinking in a farmers field with a suitable backdrop.

The range as far as I'm aware has to be defined, i.e. safety template. The NRA/NRSA will not insure you over farmers land, again this has to be a range. BASC will insure over land which covers some or all of the financials claims, but this still isn't a range.

I think you need to have some clause over legal quarry and zero over land.

Legal boffins, others in the know or FEO to correct E&OE.

Interestingly I just had a variation done to add some calibres for use at another club. Previously my ticket said “Whilst a member of xyz club” and it now says “Whilst a member of a HO approved club”.

I didn’t ask for it to be changed; I assume when you’re a member of more than one they put the above in to save the extra typing :)
