ghost*chaser 0 Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Hi guys, after shooting targets and spinners at home I'm a little fed up. I had a stray .22 ping off and clip a neighbor up a ladder ( I know what's the chances?) anyway she reported me. Blimey I had the tactical unit round with armed police, 4 other plods and the threat of confiscation of my beloved 'Daystate Air ranger' or face a court hearing, not at all funny I'm sure you will agree. .. I managed to calm the situation and issued an appology to my neighbor. Any way no further action was taken. But there was one proviso and that was I would not use my rifles and pistols at home any more. Sad I know when I have a right too. But not wanting to rock the boat I have not shot for 12 months now. I know about my local indoor outdoor clubs and yes I should join. But I hanker for a woodland out door hunt, with live prey. I have asked two of my good friends with farm land and they didn't want me anywhere near. (public get cagey when they see a man with arms etc) I can see their point. Does any body know a good hunting ground with permissions or clubs that arrange such things around the North West? Well I live in Manchester. Iv'e searched the net but have drawn a blank. would love some help please guys. Kind regards to you all, Happy shooting too (",) Andrew Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kind regards to you all, Happy shooting too (",) Andrew getting permission is a real up hill battle,for every yes you will get 100 no's........get out there and knock door's....dont get disheartened..YOU WILL REPEATEDLY GET TOLD NO AND PISS OFF..........then one day someone will say yes.tell you there rules and requirements and what they want shooting.if you are good and cause no trouble word will get around and you will start getting more a more untill you are saying "no i have enough thank you"...i moved to a new area years ago and it was so bloody hard even getting ferreting permission never mind the freedom to rome at night.......good luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
