topmantim Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 hello to you all.I though i would ask if anybody out there has a bit of land ,out the way that i can teach my son who is 11 years old how to shoot his air rifle safely and properly as i dont want to do it in my back garden. I want him to learn to use it in the proper suroundings. I live in Lincoln, so as close to Lincoln as possible would be appreciated. I am 37 years old and have been shooting since the age of 12 myself. I dont necessarily want vermin shooting just somewhere i can put up some targets, but if you do have a rat problem then quite happy to sort that out also. Thanks for reading this and i hope someone out there can help. Look forward to hearing from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sniper Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 Topmantim, Unless you find a local landowner who may let you use his land I suspect you will find it hard to get some land. Why not try and find the nearest Air Gun Club to you and take your lad there. If you do a search on British Field Target Association they have lots of clubs, with very helpful members.
