FBF Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 can anyone help me? ive done a search on google and basc sites, ive looked on here too. i live by a main road and have a field out the back maybe the size of 3 football pitches. i want to shoot my shotgun out there to aid my dogs training, i dont have a cap gun. just want to let off maybe 2-3 at a distance to see how my dog is coming along. any reason why i couldnt do this? there are 4 houses backing on to the land they may get a fright.

MJN Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 50m from center of highway, 300 meters to the houses at the back then you might be okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocky.22 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Hi FBF i would contact the people in the houses at the rear of your land to let them know what you are thinking of doing just to keep the peace, because you know what will happen if you don't it'll be **** law and the rozzers will be around but i don't know if it's against the law to shoot on your land of that sort of size with a shotgun anyway?!!

bob300w Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 It's not illegal, but it would be courtesy to let your neighbours know, and it might avoid a visit from an armed response unit. Pull the powder and shot from a couple of cartridges (just use the primer) for the first couple of shots, to to see how the dog reacts.

elmer_fudd Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Or use blanks! Blanks Personally, with neighbors I would go too a shooting ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FBF Posted July 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 thanks for all the replys its exactly the advice i was after, i have one dodgy neighbor and we dont get on since i caught him using a telescope to watch one of the rooms here with a 14 yr old girl in it.. i would expect him to get on the blower at the first chance he gets.. should i let the police know that i will be firing here as a pre warning?

CharlieT Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 I would just empty the shot out, and use it as far away from the houses as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
