Got a few 'other' interests, from watches to airguns

You need paperwork to shoot a rabbit? Little bit different in this neck of the woods.........no paper required for anything smaller than a Deer. That means anything is fair game if it's bothering your garden, livestock or you personally..........oh, and it doesn't matter what caliber you choose. Mine range from .177 to a .577/500 Rigby's Best. Don't need a license and I carry concealed when I deem it might be necessary.

ps. I shoot in my backyard

Sounds like you can have fun Rick.
Don't really need paperwork, just as it's on somebody else's land and if some busybody calls the police I've got a bit of paper to say that I'm allowed to shoot there - saves possibly waiting at the wrong end of a glock for them to contact the land owner.
Also shoot in the backyard :thumb2:

Yep, always good to carry a permission slip in case somebody calls the plod. I used to have a couple of small permissions for air rifle hunting, but gave them up in favour of target shooting when I got my FAC.

Permission slips and imho some sort of insurance (BASC) is always something to carry with you.

Yes - whole family is insured through c3, as it's not just a shooting insurance, but covers a whole range of 'country' activities

Good to know you are not too impeded in pursuing the shooting sports. When I go Prairie Dog or Gopher shooting I check with the owners of the land I will be hunting on. Around here they are more than happy to let you on their land as it keeps the populations down and their livestock end up with less broken legs etc. from stepping in burrow holes.

Unfortunately we are to some degree thanks to two major shootings. One shooting banned automatic rifles and the other banned handguns. So those of us with half a braincell now cannot enjoy our sport as much as we used to. And to add insult to injury. Up here in Scotland those in power at present have kindly introduced a licence for airguns now!

My weapon of choice for this outing was a Ruger #1 chambered for .22 Hornet which was rechambered for the Kilborne improved or .22 K Hornet.......an extra fifty yards of accurate shooting. Rick H.
Sorry to hear about the banning of perfectly useful tools. Our Federal Government would love to do this also but have that silly piece of paper in the way of it and we also have what is called "States" rights which provides it own constitution to keep the Feds at bay. Also nice to have a Governor That told the feds to go pound salt. Rick H.

Yes, and I can remember when you could keep a shotgun handy by the back door to take care of pests raiding the veggie plot, rather than having to have it locked away from prying eyes in a special cabinet and the cartridges in another
