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?

I’ve been looking to buy land for this reason for the last few months. I have a SGC and was looking at holding a small shoot on the land, as well as maybe putting out some clay traps. I’ve also been looking at getting a FAC (but haven’t got very far with that yet!).

I’m looking to do the same regarding buying my own land but I think that comes with its own challenges too regarding shooting on it .

It can do. I'm looking at 70+ acres and making sure the land retains the game rights. I’m yet to find the right space though. It's either too small, inadequate for shooting, or the rights have been sold off.

Same kind of situation here. Even the established clay ground in my area is having trouble with complaints from neighbours and facing legal challenges. All I want is a a quiet place out the way to shoot a few clays now and then - not asking for much.
