New licence Application for hunting only

    I’m looking to fill in the land owners details where I intend to shoot.. but it seems to be deliberately missing..

    So, I’m filling in a FCA1 form and the application form in section 4.2 seems to be constructed in a fashion that suggests that you need to be in a local gun club etc etc. There however a small inconspicuous box down lower in the same section that refers to HUNTING but it looks more like an after thought as opposed to a legitimate option so I read on, and then I notice that there is no where to enter the name of my two permission providers and instead only an entry slot for a land own for a limited licence. I thought limited licences had been resigned to the bygone age.
    Do I just fill in the land owner here anyway and ignore the limited licences bull sh1t or what.


    Also how do you get around section 2.5 proof of competency.. does 30 plus years of shooting not suffice.. what do you write there..

    I have been out of the scene for some time as my partner passed away but I’m only getting back now to a bit of shooting and looking at posts here it’s clear as crystal that there is straight up attack on shooting sports as restrictive measures continue and I see the blatant attempts to curtail shooting sports by just making it difficult full stop.

    Any pointers or help would be much appreciated lads.

    Need to get this licence in to FO this weekend..

    Include a letter from the landowner stating that you've been given permission to hunt on their land. Include folio numbers and contact details of the landowner, obviously check with the landowner
