THE AD Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 Got a field where the crows are mainly near the road so can't shoot towards road,so need to have back to the road. How close to the road can you shoot if facing away from it.Using shotguns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In particular, care should be taken when siting Guns near roads. Section 161 of the Highways Act 1980 (England & Wales) makes it an offence to discharge a firearm within 50 ft of the centre of a highway with vehicular rights without lawful authority or excuse, if as a result a user of the highway is injured, interrupted or endangered.

Cranfield Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 Just in case you can't read the small print, the rule is 50ft from the centre of the public right of way (if its liable to cause alarm and distress and its safest to assume it will).
