Phil9 Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 Hiya all,, with Boris’s new lockdown announcement last week,,are we aloud out to shoot now the rules have been slightly relaxed??? I’ll be on my own away from any public footpaths or roads,, on a large farm! Surely this is more safer than goin out meeting somebody from a different household,, that now is allowed?? Anybody have any answers? Thanks Phil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 Crop protection, vermin control and I believe deer control then the answer is yes. Stay safe and use common sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancer425 Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 How i see it crops/ livestock etc ok. Clay shooting not convinced we can yet myself. I am even sceptical about patterning shotguns, or zeroing rifles. might get away with it under zeroing / patterning in conection with defined use. but again it is possible they could see this as Non essential. I am just out with rimfire and Moderated CF rifles , and minimum shots with centrefire. OTT i agree but I want to let this pan out a bit longer before i Venture out with a shotgun again. I am seriously looking at a Metro gun, quietest of the 12bore and 20 bores. http://www.metrogun.com/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. i just looked you are right, my mistake. We are good to go on pests vermin etc. I am still a little untrustworthy of how some police may decide rules are but at least feel comfortable traveling to and fro now. i was not convinced i was legal Today.

I think it says a lot that some of the most lawful and responsible members of the public have had cause to not trust the police just because some of them dislike what we do.
