Query re legality |

|
Just looking for opinions. I have asked 2 dealers and got 2 |
|
different answers on the same question. |
|
I live in the sticks. House on about 1 acre, with a large back |
|
garden. Beyond the garden is 400-500 acres of open farmland. |
|
If I am on my own land, can I shoot over the adjacent farmland? |
|
I suppose I could break this into 2 questions. Would it be |
|
legal to shoot airborne targets flying over the land, and/ or |
|
would it be legal to shoot targets on the land, i.e. rabbits |
|
foxes etc, again providing I am on my own property. |
|
I should add, there are no residential properties within the |
|
field of view I am talking about. |
|
One dealer told me it was fine, as I was shooting from my own |
|
land, another told me no. |
|
My feeling is, none owns the air above, but there might be a |
|
question about shooting land based targets? |
|
Whats your thoughts? btw, the farmer is odd as sin, so |
|
approaching him is a no no. I would in visage using a silenced |
|
rifle as well, so there wouldn't be a noise issue. |

The answer is most definitely no. You cannot shoot onto land |
|
that you do not have permission on. No projectiles are allowed |
|
to stray beyond the boundary of the land you are permitted to |
|
shoot on. |

Probably, but if that's the case you need to ask yourself what |
|
else is dodgey about the dealer? Really interested to know who |
|
it is, but we may be dealing with a troll here. |

Whos' the troll? >:( |
|
This was one of the major dealers here. I will clarify my |
|
question with him again in case he misinterpreted it. But I |
|
don't know how he could have. This would certainly not be seen |
|
as a "dodgy dealer" I would have thought. |
|
Also, this has put another question in my head. What if you are |
|
shooting at the edge of the land you have permission on, and |
|
your shot goes over adjacent land, say a field, is that breaking |
|
the law? |

Majority of shooters break the law at at some time..... like |
|
driving, what you do and what you get caught at |
