bruno22rf Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 IMHO a group of Airgun shooters turning up on most landowners doorstep is about as far as they are going to get.Really dont want to rain on your parade fellow but I would imagine that you will have far more success as individuals.One of the many downsides I can see to this idea is that by asking others to join you-you then are all responsible if one member does something stupid.

staffyspen Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 No offence and I'm all for listening to good advise but I'm sure he is not talking about a gang of lads walking around with guns asking randoms if they can't shoot stuff, just 2-3 responsible, mature people getting together and offering a service to people that want/need it!

bruno22rf Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Staffyspen-you are assuming that said people are mature and responsible and I applaud your faith in mankind but its a fairly risky assumption.I sincerely hope that this potential group (what would a group of airgunners be called I wonder?)do find suitable land but ,in my experience,I feel that you may struggle.I suppose that by pooling your funds together you may have a greater fighting chance-please keep us updated as the theory interests me.

Anyone can go and buy an air gun and farmers know this. fair point,and i also know a lot of farmers who use airrifles for farmyard work on rats etc,also game keepers use them for there quietness,and they can be just as effective out to 40 yards as a rimfire.another bonus of owning one is that consider a tin of quality pellets costs around £10-£12,and i dont have to produce a f.a.c everytime i want to purchase pells rather than rimm/shotgun carts.i applied for my s/g cert and was denied for a period of 5 yrs because after a close member of my family passed away,i suffered a minor bout of depression (3 months)and that was enough for the police to say no.this is one reason why i use an air rifle Edited June 8, 2011 by jason airarms tx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruno22rf Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 (edited) ONE4THEPOT-do I get many days shooting? If I want I can shoot 7 days a week 52 weeks a year-I own a PCP (Logun MK2 Pro)several shotguns and a .22 Rimmie-used to own a 22-250 but never used it much so it had to go.I have free shooting over several thousand acres (approx 15k) in Bucks and smaller pockets dotted around the three counties.Much of my land is Rape so most shooting is pigeons but Rabbits and Squirrels along with corvids keep me busy.I dont shoot foxes unless asked to and never shoot peasants or ducks because I love seeing them around.

bruno22rf Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 ONE4THEPOT-gonna be difficult to not sound like I am lecturing you-not my intention in any way.Shotgun shooting is not easy by any means and while you may be chucking over 300 pellets skywards you also need remember that by the time you fire most birds have clocked you and have engaged full afterburners.Comparing Shotgun and Airgun shooting is pointless as they are as different as chalk and cheese (Asda "chosen by you" chedder not included).If its silent you want then you need to stand next to a .22 Rinmmie as it fires a sub round-not many Airguns are that quiet.As for everything heading for the hills upon unleashing a shotgun-this is often a blessing because said birds often see your decoy pattern and come and present a shot.After all this comes the fully moderated shotgun if noise really is a problem.Having said all this-a handfull of pigeons from a sitty tree or off the stubble with a nice Airgun are worth more than any 100 bird day with a shottie-In all my years shooting it has been the successful Airgun days that have remained most firm in my memory.

ack-ack Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 fair point,and i also know a lot of farmers who use airrifles for farmyard work on rats etc,also game keepers use them for there quietness,and they can be just as effective out to 40 yards as a rimfire.another bonus of owning one is that consider a tin of quality pellets costs around £10-£12,and i dont have to produce a f.a.c everytime i want to purchase pells rather than rimm/shotgun carts.i applied for my s/g cert and was denied for a period of 5 yrs because after a close member of my family passed away,i suffered a minor bout of depression (3 months)and that was enough for the police to say no.this is one reason why i use an air rifle 5 years is very harsh if your bout was only three months. The Police may advise you not to reapply for a said period but you still have a right to appeal through the courts if you think you have genuine grounds. If you're a member ask BASC how you stand, they're normally full of useful information and help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
