Stevie76 2 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Hello to all on the forum, I've only had my air rifle for 18 months, and boy has it changed my life The credit crunch ever pushing me to try and save the penny's. I took notice of the abundance of wild game where I live, so I now put good grub on the table, feed the dogs, all for the price of a tin of pellets. Steven. Quote Link to post
prubs_123 4 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Hi Steve and welcome, most people who are coming back to the sport are doing so for the reason you have just outlined. The only problem being finding permissions :censored: welcome again to the mad house.lol Quote Link to post
Stevie76 2 Posted March 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Totally agree, I have been trying to get permission at the St. Andrews university for over a year, but no joy. Such a shame, I could take 50 rabbits a day and not even begin to dent the population. Quote Link to post
woodcote1 88 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Welcome to the forum. What rifle do you use? Quote Link to post
Stevie76 2 Posted March 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Hello, I use a bsa ultra XTX regged .22 with a 10x44 hawke sidewinder. It was a nightmare at first, talk about pellet fussy! Finally cracked it with defiant pellets large size Quote Link to post

valboskie 39 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Hi there and welcome. Im from greenock and I am surrounded by farm's I have visited over a dozen And still no permission I dress well im always polite but still nothing. Some farmer's just moaned about people using dogs on their land to kill the rabits and deer Others just did not want shooting on their land. I am new to hunting so I have lots to learn. I will try further. away from where I live in the hope I can get something. I hope uou have better luck than me Cheers David Quote Link to post
Stevie76 2 Posted March 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Keep at it David, it took me 8 months to get my first and only one so far. All I did in the mean time was practice making sure my pellet went where I wanted it. You could try putting it in writing, and put it through their doors, that's what I did and finally I got a score Quote Link to post
