Put him straight on the law first,if the pellet doesn't leave your property you aint breaking the law,don't be funny with him though.
If he persists in being a willy about it tell him to spin & if he phones the old bill all the time they'll just tag him as a time waster,i just love these people who think they can tell you what to do.

Thanks i was very sure i hadnt done anything wrond no pellets have left my property. I think of myself as a conciderate airguner and as a result have been very careful. But no-days you cant be to careful.

I think i might of annoyed him even more as i have a fence surrounding my BBQ and since birds sit on it and **** everywhere. I layed down in my concervetory and just hit one centre chest from about 17 yards. Then about a minuets later more landed so i managed to bag about three. One magpie two ferral.

My old neighbours were the same, so I waited from them to plan a big garden party with all their freaky friends (they used to ask us not to put washing out or have a BBQ). That morning I went stalking and on my return promptly hung a red stag from my old apple tree not 20 yds from the garden party. They stayed until I removed the head. After that the neighbours never said much about my shooting, in fact come to think of it they never said much at all about anything

They moved on a few months later, I did ask the new neighbours if they minded my skinning a deer so close, they didn't last much longer mind

So what you want to do is............

Thing is and lets be honest we all have to get along in this world. Our time is relatively short and many things will out last us. Now, I can not abide the anti-gun owner attitude that the press has managed to brain wash most of Britain with and I can not abide peoples attitude over meat and hunting especially while they tuck in to their beef steak or Sunday roast. To my mind these people are such hypocrites, condemning me for shooting and eating a deer. Half these people are only using a tenth of the brain god gave them, I'm sure of that.

Yesterday i was outside cleaning my rifle and where i had been up to my uncles with it, in his jeep i was concered the zero might have moved. So i just wanted to clean it. i heard a ring on the door followed by a louder knock, i answered the door and the police was there. The old guy had called the police, they came in cheaked the rifle looked at my passport to cheak i was 18 then they left and went next door.

Best thing about it was the old guy got a £60 on the spot fine for wasting police time. The police befor leaving ensured my i was well within my legal rights to own the rilfe and to shot in the garden.

i surporse thats the way the cookie crublems. the old guy wont speak to myself or my family lol.
