othickman 6 Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Oh well. By the way you realise that being under 18 you have to be accompanied with an over 21 year old when in public places (i.e. roads). Or have I been misinformed? Quote Link to post

Or have I been misinformed? misimformed mate. as far as i am aware if its covered and not loaded its ok as long as you can prove you are going shooting or coming back from shooting.

othickman 6 Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Oh really? Wow, thats interesting, just goes to show how our laws regarding air rifles are so clever, after all, they are much more lethal than a shotgun :glare: Quote Link to post

Phantom 631 Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 LOL, Tell me about it! I've been trying to get up for some early morning bunny bopping for a couple of weeks now! Only time I managed it it was too sodding windy. I'll just have to keep trying, but I have this habbit of telling my alarm clock to shut the up and let me go back to sleep. Yet in the early and mid summer, I can be up and dressed before 04:00 Phantom Quote Link to post

Ah, I can't really think up a decent counter argument, And borntoshoot I'd really appreciate that, I only got my first permission today so maybe in a months time when I've done some target shooting out to thirty, forty yards; my club only allows 10m for air rifles and my garden is only about 10m too, so when I've done some more target shooting and feel I'm ready for live quarry. Thanks for that oh, and Stokenchurch is by the m40, right? That's only about half an hours drive. Quote Link to post

Thanks for that oh, and Stokenchurch is by the m40, right? That's only about half an hours drive. my nans garden is where i sight in my airrifle and its about 30 yards slighty uphill with a massive tree and a concrete bank/block as a backstop. also there is a way we can shoot about 15- 20 yards along the garden with a big bit of wood as a backstop. both ways you can rest or lie down its up to u. and yeah it is just off the M40. what gun have you got? i got an airmagnum so it depends if i have got any gas as to when we can shoot but your welcome to come to my nans to practise most sundays if you want. atb borntoshoot Quote Link to post
othickman 6 Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 I got a BSA Lightning, not much, but its as accurate as the shooter (at least in my case ) and I'm hoping, depending on how the hunting goes, to get an AA of some sort, probably an S400 in a couple of months. And although it would be great to practice with someone, I'm not sure if I could get up to Stokenchurch most sundays. So I'm probably going to go down my permission twice a week for a few weeks and hopefully feel confident enough to go for some live quarry soon I love shooting; so much more energizing than squash Quote Link to post
