kanny 20,851 Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Some undeniably accurate shooting there lads but safe shots or legal with that busy road behind the hedge I aint so sure. atb kanny Quote Link to post
villaman 9,983 Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Some undeniably accurate shooting there lads but safe shots or legal with that busy road behind the hedge I aint so sure. atb kanny The Law states It is also against the law, in England and Wales, to fire an air rifle within 50 feet of the centre of a highway (which consists of or comprises a carriageway)if in consequence a user of the highway is injured, interrupted or endangered. These offences could be committed, for example, when someone is shooting in their garden close to a public highway and the pellets ricochet onto the highway. So as long you are 15 m away when you take your shot you should be ok 1 Quote Link to post

So as long you are 15 m away when you take your shot you should be ok yes 50 feet I was thinking 50m for some reason my mistake .... but I still feel the shots were irresponsible... imo a hedge should never be classed as a back stop especially when there's a busy public highway just the other side ..... shit will and does happen.

Thats a good opinion to take Kanny, however there is actually a ditch and bank behind the hedge that you cannot see from the footage and the shots are very safe or we would not of taken them. There is always a hint of doubt in any shot. You could be shooting against a solid brick wall and the pellet could take a deflection from a blade of grass or twig and still shoot left or right, up or down and out into a area that its shouldn't be. Not everyone has 100s of yards of permission so calculated shots need to be made which is what we did and as seen all were contained within our boundary. Even the elevated shots were safe as we know where the boundaries ended if we missed. Edited July 7, 2013 by zini 2 Quote Link to post

I can only comment on the perspective given in the video and on that information I don't think I would have taken the shot. but given the full information that you had about the whole scenario at the time then I trust your judgment. atb kanny 1 Quote Link to post
