Where can you legally shoot?

[Radders 0]

Having got my shotgun my father has asked me whether I could take care of the rabbit problem in our garden.

 

Garden is about 3 acres big. Bordered by fallow field, public area (football pitch) and the end of our neighbors garden. Trees and hedgerow between our garden and all of these,

 

My question is - would I be OK to take out some rabbits if they came into my sights in the garden. Plenty of shooting round here so at sociable hours shouldn't distubr the neighbors but it's hardly the fields that you guys seem to ramble over when lamping!

i believe that as long as the shot don't leave YOUR land all is legal.

 

someone who knows 100% will come and set me straight if im wrong

yep you can shoot within your boundary also take in consideration of distress caused to others ie a football match going on and you blasting away from the back door its called neglegent dicharge of a firearm just be sensible

Thanks guys. Will have to have a think about how safe it is but might be able to bag a rabbit or two.

I think that you probably be better with an air rifle as long as you think first about backstop etc less noise nusance for neibours or members of the public using the park mate but safety has to be paramount .bear in mind that the general public lift the phone to the police 9 times out of 10 if they hear gunshots
