deadeye ive Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Saying that, I was considering building a high seat as well as the small shooting range. I meant shooting from sticks if the need arised Hunter ............Especially on flattish ground ............Build your high seat by all means but what are you intending to shoot ??................Do you intend baiting a specific area all the time ?.....Have you got the patience to sit for hours on end because I know I haven't Ive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunganick Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 i would have thought you would be better off having it cleared as a piece of land to shoot on. to my knoledge you dont need to tell plod that you intend to zero there regually. (although shooting the .222 alot might grab the attention of others) i dont see how having an area custom made to zero on is any different to when we go out to a permission and zero against a soil bank. hopefully some other members can clarify whether it is OK to zero on your own permission as long as the land is cleared. does plod need to know?? i would have thought he wouldnt care as long as your the only user of it.

varmintator Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 How much time do you have on your hands different strokes etc would have thought you could get more satisfaction from making the gun rather than digging a ditch? Might take you less time to make the gun than dig the range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted February 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 All these posts trying to stop me building the range just encourages me more I took a day off work to do some work on the range instead.. theres several weeks of work to be done on it, so I may have some freinds over on the weekend. Depends on weather/time though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
