jocky 198 Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 is it ok to use a 22 bullet on a golf course for rabbit shooting, not shore how it would work as it is still a public place. Quote Link to post
alcamy22 7 Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 a golf course is not a public place it is a private property which in turn may be open to the public be it council owned or privately owned it is very much not public it would not be like land deemed commonage where everyone has equal right to be on the land be careful with that one or you might find yourself in the docks Quote Link to post
j316 119 Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 IS THE LAND PASSED FOR 22 OR DO YOU HAVE AN OPEN TICKET Quote Link to post

jocky 198 Posted July 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 im not going to be using 22 fire arm, i will be using s410 air rifle. was just wondering as the people that were shooting there and still do some times,were using 22 rim Quote Link to post
bigears 205 Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 i have permission on a golf course had it passed for 223 ,but now i have a open ticket :boogy: Quote Link to post
k9delboy 138 Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 How do you know if you have an open ticket as i have looked at mine thouroughly and it doesnt say where i can shoot. i asked for my 22 rim fire to be used on vermin whereever i was asked and i also shoot, not on a golf course but on a football park with written permission from the groundsman. Should i seek approval from the police too ???, Del. Quote Link to post
Terryorr 27 Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 As long as the owner/owners of the golf club gives you permission to shoot rabbit and,as long as it is at a suitable time when it is not a danger to anyone then there should be no problem. Quote Link to post

It will say on your firearms ticket if its open something like "has the use of .22 rim fire and sound moderator for vermin and ground game over which the holder has lawful authority to shoot" If it's not open there will be a reference to "over land deemed suitable by the chief police officer" or something like that.

k9delboy 138 Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 It says, The .22r/f rifle and the .22 sound moderator and ammunition shall be used for shooting vermin and ground game and for zeroing on ranges or land over which the holder has lawful authority to shoot. So i take it that this means i can shoot wherever i have permission so long as obviously it is a safe place to shoot. I.E Such as the football ground at night when no one is there or lamping on the golf course etc.This is what makes this site so good.Good information passed between each other and some sound advice where required, yis Del.

mattydski 560 Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Correct Dell. You have a n open Ticket........ Quote Link to post
HUnter_zero 58 Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 I know a few people who shoot on Golf courses. One of the biggest issues is that you can only shoot when the course is empty of players which means either 3am on a summers morning or when the club house closes on a winters evening. That said, I have seen people playing with glow in the dark golf balls! Golf course also seem to be a mecca for dog walkers and nature watches, oh and late night couples, surely they must have a bed to use? Cold damp grass just isn't my thing god I'm getting old. I know one chap, who sets up on high ground, and shoots bunnies with his .223. He just stays put, takes sandwiches and tea. Only packing up when he spots the first signs of human life either pulling in to the car-park or walking dogs. One of my mates used to use a golf buggy with a lamp attached and drive around the course at night, lazy git but I was proper jealous of him John Quote Link to post

Yes mate providing you have the landowners permission and you consider it safe to do so you can use the rim fire anywhere Quote Link to post
