Royal Mail will review all responses before a final decision is made. Yours sincerely Zoe Allchorn" Here is what another UBC member got from his MP And the most encouraging remark was from Ofcom who replied to one of our members with ".... Ofcom does not approve the Schemes that Royal Mail proposes although we do have the power under Section 89A of the Act to direct

Target Shooting In The Garden
Phantom replied to KurtH's topic in Rifle Reviews, Technical Help and Tips
It's not even had 40 pellets through it yet, so think it will be ok for now, but I'll definately keep an eye on it Yes :yes Chrono it regularly Depends on the council EYRC whome I was under was generally tollerant as long as I kept within the law and didn't cause distress or noise nusiance They are complaining of the noise caused by the pellet hitting home or the noise created as your targets fall.

Target Shooting In The Garden
Phantom replied to KurtH's topic in Rifle Reviews, Technical Help and Tips
Considder yourself very lucky Many Police officers would use the chance to take into custody your guns and send them away for testing in the hope of an easy +1 on their file Luckily there are some decent level headed officers who are able to see beyond the scaremongering from the media Watch the noise complaint though if you live in a council house or housing association Even in private accomodation though. the council can make it awkward, if not difficult to continue. The fact that the Police are not concearned with your shooting goes imensley in your favour though Tony -

Phantom replied to davyt63's topic in General Airgun Discussion
Scot, A word to the wise bud, Traveling with guns via the rail networks is a complicated business You would need permission of all the rail networks that we pass through to carry your guns openly Chances are that one or more networks (depending on the person who opens the mail, time of the month, how heavy her periods are, anti-gun etc) will refuse to grant authorisation! Sooooo It is a good idea to make sure that your gun can not be fired so I would reccomend that you seperate the action from the stock and pack it inside your backpack, ruckseack luggage or whatever, thus no one will -
Target Shooting In The Garden
Phantom replied to KurtH's topic in Rifle Reviews, Technical Help and Tips
Legally..... As long as your pellet does not leave your boundry your fine Unfortunately...... Should your moaning minnie neighbour complain to the police, you will be paid a vist! But heres the kicker (right in the nuts), if she claims to the police that she feels endangered, you are then comitting an offence and can (although I've not actually heard of anyone) be prosecuted have you a silencer on the gun? If so you may be better off shooting paper targets with a lead sheet or sand behind them to muffle the impact Tony -

Thank you Scot. Thats a shame Craig I was looking forward to meeting you Tony -
So it wasn't actually a chest shot then If you'd originally said it was shot from below, I would not have questioned your shooting technique Tony
-
Forgive me for saying so but....... Shooting Woodies with chest shots is not acceptable Ferrals yes, Woodies no! and I know that the regulars on here will agree with me on this point. Why? Because Woodies have both a huge amount of Muscle mass on their chest and behind that a bloody tough Chestbone, that acts as a freaking strong shield at 30 yards a head shot/neck shot would have been a far preferable shot! I'd have your gun chronoed I know some would disagree but we aim for the most humane possible dispatch of our quarry do we not? As for the rest? Well done T

Phantom replied to Woodworm1972's topic in General Airgun Discussion
Looks great Chris. As you say, it's difficult to produce a unique style of stock these days, but I guess there aint many stocks made out of that particular wood. That wood "feel's" great in the hand. Tony -
