Hi all,
Have been shooting full bore for over twenty five years, most of it in military.
Now adjusting to civvie life and farm shooting....just going through the FAC process at the moment and looking to join a club near me....once I can sneek enough money out of the joint account
Kind regards
Haytime

Welcome ooman !
Best lay off shootin' farmers until after you have got the FAC though.

Welcome to FB UK.
Just remember all rifles cost £100 when working from a joint account
Other stuff, at whatever it costs!
You'll get good advice here.
Happy shooting.

Howdy there.
What type of shooting do you do? Target? Sporting? Classic Military etc?
Edit: I meant, what are you looking to do, when you receive your FAC. :cool2:

Welcome neighbour.
If you're in Northumbria or County Durham, their FEO's seem to be either miserable gits who like to say no or are in disarray after a couple of serious faux-pas.
Good luck with the FAC and enjoy the shooting in Civvi street.

No, no, NO ooman!
No shooting civvies in the street. that's far worse than shooting farmers...

:lol: I pulled the £100 stunt for my SGC, that worked, just need to tweak it a little further.
Looking at target shooting at Bishop Auckland Gun Club, just around the corner, had a look around a while ago, it seems ok....indoors 50m and heated (always a bonus).
.... manged to lay my hands on 3 farms with about 900 acre's of dairy land....I'm a yorkshire dales lad so land permission is not really a problem....still like the targets though smile2
