She is 17 so according to the law that I can see that is allowed please correct me if I am wrong.Chapuis wrote:Bobcat I think it would be a good idea for you to look up the H.O. guidance regarding teaching your daughter to shoot and the possible limitations regarding exemptions from the firearms act dependent on age and circumstances.
Also have a look at the MOD document on Range design criteria and specifications JSP 403 to give you some ideas about suitable backstops for your "indoor range". Shredded tyre actually makes a very good bullet catcher if used correctly but has certain limitations.
Thank you for doc details will have a look.
Hi Dromia thanks for the advice really more for personnel use. I have no interest in creating or running a range. I just was wondering if anyone new of a decent material for a back stops that I had not thought about. Basically just be able to zero in and teach out of the rain .dromia wrote:Also check with the firearms certification department as making a range, especially for others to use, is different from having permission to shoot and zero on your own land.
The insurance implications of such an initiative should also be investigated as should the possible need for any planning involvement.
Be aware that firearms certification departments also monitor forums such as these.
