Post by ChrisI thought you boys over the pond lost your shooting rights a long time ago?
What gives?
Nope. Only pistol shooting is totally banned.
Even then, there are ways to get round it, a bloke at my Club has got a
'Dirty Harry' gun (.44 Magnum?). To use it, he has had a shoulder rest
welded to the handle, to make it over 24" long, hence it is now classed
as a rifle due to its length.
Small bore shooting is still a big thing, though those who do it are
very quiet about it, so no-one, apart from those taking part, are aware
of such a sport.
Full bore is still allowed at appropriate shooting grounds, and at live
quarry, such as deer.
You are not allowed auto or semi-auto full bore rifles though.
Shotgun shooting is very big here, mainly clay target, but in the winter
months a lot of game birds are shot, the majority being pheasant and
pigeon(shot all year), then in smaller amounts, geese, ducks, partridge
and many other eatable birds.
