Adi Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Hi all, I'm new to the forum so i'd like to say hello to everybody.. I'm 27 and live in Bolton in the northwest. I shoot a BSA Lightning .177 a good starter rifle IMO. I've been on-off shooting for years, nothing serious tho. I started off target shooting then moving on to rabbit a couple of summers ago. I'd like to make it more of a hobbie and spend more time out and about but im finding it very difficult to get the OK off land owners. I've tried farms all over Bolton and the immediate area with no luck at all. Most of the farms I visited had trouble with the lampers that just come on without asking first. The others had horses so it was a no no straight away. They just didn't seem to like me asking. If there are anyother shooters from the northwest that know of any friendly farmers or have land yourselfs then please please let me know. I don't really like the idea of using council owned woods, i'd rather it was all safe and legal. Thanks for readin, Adi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
