I dont hold an FAC at the moment i Have booked to go stalking in Feb
and as i believe this counts as good reason to apply for said FAC
I quote HO guidance 13.30
"An applicant who wishes to shoot deer should name land which has the likelihood of the appropriate deer species being present, and an invitation,
booking or authority to shoot. Many deer stalkers will rely on invitations to shoot on payment rather than being paid to do so and may not be able to shoot regularly or frequently,"
Anyone give a clue as to how many bookings you have to have or have completed before you prove to the powers that be you have good reason.
I have shot rifles since the age of 13 with the army cadets then spent 10yrs in the TA so have some knowledge experience of weapon handling/safety.
I am in the GMP teams area if this helps know they all have their own little
ideas on interpretation of HO guidance
