Hopefully my knowledge will help in any way i can, my first question is, Im trying to get vermin shooting on MOD land has any 1 had any experience. Cheers Hello Mate , in answer to your shooting on MOD ground. very unlikely to get it , I have done some work on MOD sites . Through work (pest control on a contract basis)you will need at least 10 million public insurance on these type of sites and they are very windy about some one dropping a clanger, look at your local farms and shooting estates . Good luck and keep trying you will get some land in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers If you're neither serving nor a civil servant; you'll have about nil chance. Other than getting an actual vermin control contract with Defence Estates (ie do it as a paid job); your only possible route in would be to join a garrison shoot (or similar) and buy a pottering license - but you'll almost certainly be restricted to shotgun use only.
