crazycooker Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Hi I am looking for advice I’ve been offered the opportunity to set up a rimfire rifle range on a clay shoot ,the land is cleared . All targets will be moveable so we would set up when we are able to shoot and the bring it all back into safe storage .Would I be correct in thinking that as the landowner will be giving permission for us to use shoot over his land standard personal insurance would be ok . No membership is being charged all owner of the clay shoot hopes is that we use his shoot more often . No money is changing hands to use the land. I look forward to hearing from the pigeon watch massive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewulf Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 You would still need home office approval I believe. The fact that no money is changing hands is irrelevant. An outside range is a little more complicated too, with backstops, rights of way ,warning flags ect, as you are aware, a .22lr round can travel !

crazycooker Posted May 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Ok thnx for the reply . But it’s more like a few of us are having permission slips signed to use his land for target shooting it will not be open to the public just myself and few mates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not a 'range' just some land where they may be more than one person shooting at the same time, at targets . Although technically you are given permission there for pest control, you are allowed to use said land to zero. A bit of a grey area, but unless theres like , 10 of you there with 10 targets plainly set out, you should be ok, I would nt refer to it as a range though, as thats not what you are given permission for.

crazycooker Posted May 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Thnx again that was my thought as well we all have basc insurance too nothing permanent in the land just moveable gongs n spinner targets only using the land when clay shoot is open and no bangs after 430 due too planning permission Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
