That makes sense actually digger
My plan (though it'll probably never work out this way) is to get a cheap air rifle to practise with in the garden. Once I get the cash together for a gun safe I'm planning on applying for a SGC & getting a couple of shotguns. I've already had the nod off a farmer to shoot on his land & he said just let him know when I need it in writing.
Obviously if anything happened between now & that happening, I would have the air rifles to fall back on. Just I didn't want to buy it if, when pointed at a bunny, the bunny sticks his finger (or bunny equivelant) up at me & carries on chewing grass knowing I haven't got a hope in hell of hitting it.
The place I'm planning on buying it from is my local fishing tackle shop. Would it be unreasonable to ask to fire a couple of rifles before buying 1?
