cbw 4 Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Following an earlier heated discussion, I have told a friend he cannot legaly shoot hares with his air rifle and I believe I cannot shoot them with my rimfire as I do not have game as a condition on my FAC........Am I correct or will I have to buy the beers?????

riohog 5,939 Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 ye you do need (ground game on your fac) air rifle dont se why not! Quote Link to post
SportingShooter 0 Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Small Ground Game on a Rimfire or "Medium" sized quarry on a centrefire is fine if you have it. A Vermin condition won't cover it in the strictest terms. There is no restriction on using a Air Rifle is there? As long as it is Humane and doesn't contravene Animal Cruelty Laws which is one of the main governances of Airgunning. Heated debate? Where? Quote Link to post
