Variation on ticket

[Nick 53]

Hi all, 

What would the correct procedure to  use your 6br rifle for occasional stalking? 

Is it apply to GMP for variation or provide proof of deer stalking access then apply for variation. 

Any advice 

Thanks nick

Hello Nick,

I would contact your FEO and speak to them about what you want to do, and how they would prefer you go about it.

The FEO is likely to want evidence of you having permission to shoot over land, that the land is suitable for that firearm and that you are safe to be allowed to shoot. I assume you do not already have authority on your FAC to stalk with another rifle and simply want to use this one too (if you do the above would be more straightforward).

Different FEOs approach these aspects slightly differently, for example courses they may have expected you to have completed and/or being accompanied. That will all be based on your experience so that’s why it is best to ask.

I hope that helps. Others may have better advice than mine.

Thanks

Adrian

Just give them a quick bell and ask , every force will have its own quirky/ ridiculous/ unnecessary requirements ,and so  there will be no standardised answer.
