chrisjpainter Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Hey mate, welcome to the site. There are plenty of people from up your way on this site, so someone might be able to help out. You may struggle though; land over which one can shoot is at a premium and most of it is taken. have you tried much yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IXI KARL IXI Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 I don't have land to shoot but I do use Steve smith shooting ground for targets, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Mongrel- Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 All I'm going to say about obtaining land to shoot over is this. DON'T assume that the traditional ways of obtaining permissions is the only way. Door knocking works, but it's not the be all and end all, use the modern technology that is available to you. I speak as a man who knocked well over 100 farm doors without any luck! At the same time, get your skills up to a level where if and when you do get permission, you will have the ability to do the job you have been asked to do. If you are shooting airguns, then look to be able to achieve sub 15 mm groups at hunting ranges. If shotgunning then I'd say you want to be hitting 60% as a minimum on clays. As for shooting FAC, I have no idea what constitutes good enough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ghost Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 I have great respect for those who are very good with an air rifle, it is a very effective weapon. I use mine when around horses, houses and those people that would find shotguns going off a worry? If you could let others know that you are a good shot who is prepared to do some vermin control in these areas.....it may work for you. We have a young bloke shooting two permissions (side by side) with an air rifle who has shot more birds than me this year. As Mongrel says above 'get your skills up to a level where if and when you do get permission, you will have the ability to do the job you have been asked to do' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
