joka Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 hi i am a new member, i am looking for a air gun shooting partner in rochdale. i get on with many people whether their age , race, religion, colour. however i have not found suitable place to shoot. i asked a police man for advice today all he could suggest was to get permission from neighbours or farmers. looking forward to a shooting partner.

Cranfield Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 joka, read some of the threads in this section, they contain good advice on how to get shooting. Its not easy and involves going out and knocking on Farmer and Landowners doors asking. The chances of someone who doesn't know you, inviting you on to their shooting permission, are low to zero.

Asked a policeman? Oh dear, you will need an education in gaining shooting permission. Knock on some doors! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joka Posted October 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 well i was walking home with the air rifle in the bag and the officer ( two community officers) asked what's that mate fishing rod i said yes but he grabbed it from the tip and caught me out but i said that it is covered and unloaded and he just said let me look at it and said to the other officer i remember when i was a teenager we used to hunt crows and rats etc so he just said be careful and that i should ask the farmers or get permission from the neighbors.

tuck1 Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Hmmmm. So let's get this straight. You have an air rifle but nowhere to shoot it? But you carry it around in a bag, then lie about it to police staff when questioned. I take it they are not on your list of age, race religion and colour then? How old are you? I would agree with Tulkyuk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuck1 Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 ^ Isn't full time Uni about 16 hours a week? God help you when you start working for a living, you won't have time to eat then!! Seriously mate, fill it in. It probably won't help you in your cause to get shooting permission, BUT Mungler, Pavman, LB and the rest will then be able to take the **** out of you for being *Scottish/*Welsh/*Irish/*English/**French/*Yorkshire etc. Helps us to have more fun at your expense. *Delete as appropriate **Oh my Lord, you're brave aren't you?

Good luck now now now boys please , i seen the little fellows request wanting a shooting partner and sent him a PM, he responded very quickly and politely as follows,.he gave his name and ethnic background as being of pakistani origin, i have no problems there, but then he told me that he does not drive and his friend would have to bring him !!!!!, then as "per post", it turns out he told a little "porky" to the local plod , he has a gun over his shoulder and says """""" its a fishing rod"""""" how original and honest is that ? , somehow ,unless this guy meets a very benevolent person wanting to give him a complete personalty "makeover", i feel is going to fail with the shooting fraternity,..........choose another hobby and do your self a favour .......... ps . i forgot to make it clear , he does not want to meet up, but only to go on your permision with his freind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mungler Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 I think it's all been said. Worrying the fact that such young people have (1) unfettered access to the internet and (2) an airgun I reckon Joka your best bet is to read.
