Know your weapon. And also know that for say a 243, if you pull that shot by what would be a few inches at 100 yards, it can travel several hundred, assuming there's no backstop. You NEED a backstop, and this isn't "know your weapon", it's "don't be a muppet".

Have you thought of joining a rifle club, it might be an ideal,opportunity to undestand and learn more about rifles,safety etc.

just to clear the 30 degree thing up:

 

it is only relevant as a maximum range, the projectile will reach the maximum distance( optimal escape from gravity,optimal air resistance).

if one knows this then shooting of birds aloft and unloading with the muzzle up...........

 

i do not think that anybody is of the opinion that the .177 is of lesser power than a .22 having read the posts again?

 

if you read the british standard for cabinets/safes then you can see what you need to do. if in doubt then buy one mate, they are not easy to build unless you have the right kit.

With all respect Mr L, it's "Don't wind up in court facing a 10 stretch for manslaughter."

Not read all this but apply for BOTH, and with moderators.

 

That way you have 5 years to decide if/when you want to get a HMR and you don't have to pay another £26 and fill in all the forms again for a variation!

If you want a Cabinet take a look at these, if there is anything you fancy let me know and I'll give you the best price I can do...I'll need to know proximity you want it delivered so I can quote delivered price!

send off your application while looking for a safe mate,you will save some time.

it takes a while to get a call from the fao then you can sort out the date of visit with him.

i wish you all the best,happy shooting.
