yes you do need a license and need to be 18 before you can hold a license for any firearm. you could possiablly get your dad to get an air rifle and shoot alongside him.

You dont need to be 18 to own a firearm, I dont know for sure about Air Rifles in NI, but you can have a shot gun under 18 on a surpervised permit I think its called.

Hello young lad, the law in Northern ireland states you must be 18 to apply for a F.A.C. to shoot on your own (the 1st 6 months you have to be supervised by someone aged 21 or over who has held a similar weapon for 3 years) then you can be on your own. At 16 you can apply for your own F.A.C. for a friend or family members air rifle/ shotgun on loan from them, but you must never be alone with it, you must be supervised at all times until you come 18. Hope this helps :thumbs:
