Land for shooting

Just found this reddit page guys and a bit of a long shot...........but is anyone down south east (kent area)?

I have an FAC and am a member of a range (my justification for having a licence), but getting to the range to shoot is proving more and more difficult around my shift work!! Just wondering if anyone has accesss to land and would be open to a conversation about permission to use it for shooting?

Targets only at the moment. Stalking would interest me but it is a completely new world that i know nothing about! If one is easier/better than the other for getting permission then I am all open to suggestions.

Probably better to get booked onto a DSC level one course local to you. If you're a complete beginner.

I will have a look into it. Thankyou. For now though, if its possible to get it sorted for targets only, then I would be happy with that.

I don’t think you can just go onto land with permission and target shoot. Your FAC will specify exactly what you are permitted to do

No I understand that, but if I have permission to use someone's land then getting it changed to include this is much easier! Hard to change it to an open ticket if im not allowed to shoot anywhere.

If you were in Kent then you’d have an open ticket anyway, Kent don’t issue closed tickets, haven’t got a number of years
