    Fee is something like $110 per year and another tenner for range key - info here

    I presume you've got your A cat firearms license?

    What do you want to hunt? Deer/Pigs/Goats/Ducks?
    Heya, Thanks for that! I'm actually in mid process of getting it, Just have to get the visit from the arms officer to make sure my rack is in good order.

    And I'll be getting an SKS 7.62x39 so probably deer/pigs/goats what not, I'd do birds like ducks and pheasants but I've heard its really hard finding places to shoot with a shotgun.
    As I said I'm just getting into it over here, I used to do it with a bow back in Scotland.
