reynolds6419 Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 I have just started teaching my 12 year old son how to shoot and would like him to see the importance of a safe backstop, tracer rounds through my .22 would be ideal, are they legal in the UK? If so where can they be purchased and are they available in .22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guss109 Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 I think they are illegal. Can you not just show him by using a sandy back stop so he can see it hitting it from different distaces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humperdingle Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 I've never used them, but from what i've heard from folk who have... They're not up to much. Get a cheap spotting scope to see where the shots are going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floating Chamber Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 I saw them being used at Grange Gun Company many years ago. I was impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiff-TRG Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Perfectly legal, but hard to find these days. Also they can bounce like crazy! However great fun on field firing ranges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halowa Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Yes, but very difficult to get hold of and also expensive. That is unless you go into a shop and the div behind the counter sells you 250 for the price of 25. But not many left now. Made by RWS the ones I have.

night owl Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 i use tracer rounds at the range there not that great plus they tend to rebound back up the range or fly high in to the air once it hit the target would not advice to use them around dry fields etc the ones i use are in 762+55 i pay £22 PER 50 here is what they look like and before there are any comments yes they do also containe some thing else and are perfectly legal here lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
