Air Rifles - A Code of Practice The most important rule of gun handling....... NEVER POINT A GUN, LOADED OR UNLOADED, IN AN UNSAFE DIRECTION. It is estimated that there are 4 million air rifles in the UK, the vast majority of which are used in a safe and responsible manner. This page offers guidance and advice to those who acquire and use them. Above all, safety is the most important consideration. Always know where the muzzle of your air rifle is pointing, and NEVER point it in an unsafe direction. Whenever you shoot, make sure you know where the pellet is going to end up before you pull the trigger. THE LAW Firearms Acts 1968-1997/Anti-Social Behaviour Act 2004 Air rifles and Young Persons - Persons aged 14-16 May not buy or hire an air rifle but may borrow one or receive one as a gift from a person of or over 17 years old. If you are under 17 years old your air rifle and ammunition must be bought for you by someone of or over 17; this will generally be your parents, guardian or some other responsible adult. In this age group you can use an air rifle on private property where you have the right to be, without supervision. You may not carry an air rifle in a public place at any time unless supervised by a person of or over 21 years and you have a good reason for doing so. Persons under 14 years All those restrictions which apply to adults and people in the 14-16 age group apply; additionally: Anyone giving or selling an air rifle or ammunition to a person under 14 years commits an offence. Parents wishing to buy air rifles for persons under 14 years to use, must keep control of them at all times, even in your own home. People under 14 may use an air rifle under supervision by someone of or over 21 years of age, on private premises with permission from the occupier of the premises, normally the owner or tenant. An offence is committed if a pellet goes outside these premises. Both child and adult commit the offence. Public Places You may never have an air rifle in a public place without proper reason for doing so. An air rifle is loaded if there is a pellet, dart or anything else in the barrel (whether it is cocked or not) or in the magazine, if it has one. A public place is anywhere where the public are allowed to go even though they may have to pay. Roads, streets, footpaths, canal towpaths, public parks and play areas are all examples of public places. Trespass It is against the law to trespass on any land (including land covered by water) or in any building whilst you have an air rifle with you. Whether the gun is loaded and whether or not you have pellets with you is irrelevant. If you go onto land without permission you are trespassing unless there is some right of access for the public. If there is a right of access for the public the restrictions set out above will apply. Trespass with an air rifle is 'armed trespass', a criminal offence, the penalties for which can be severe. As well as the offences already mentioned it is against the law to fire an air rifle within 50 feet of the centre of a carriageway, if by doing so you cause any member of the public using that right of way to be injured, interrupted or endangered. This offence could be committed for example, by someone on private property close to a road who uses an air rifle in a way which endangered people on the road. The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 All birds and animals are protected by law. It is often thought that those birds which are called vermin can be shot at any time and by anyone. This is not so. Only "authorised persons", that is those who have proper permission are allowed to do so. For this purpose the Secretary of State issues a general licence every year. Always ensure that you are authorised by the landowner or person with the sporting rights to shoot where you intend to go and that you know precisely where the boundaries are located. Target Shooting There are numerous clubs catering for this growing sport throughout the UK, and they can offer great help and guidance to both the novice and the experienced shooter alike. If you wish to practice on your own premises, you should ensure that your pellets do not go beyond your own premises, where they may cause damage or injury. It is also constructive trespass if your pellets stray onto someone else's land. You should make sure that you have a suitable backstop behind your target. Consideration for your Quarry (The term "quarry" covers the species you may lawfully shoot.) It is the responsibility of the sportsman to be able to recognise their quarry and know when and where they may shoot it. Never shoot unless you have positively identified your quarry. Always shoot well within your capabilities. Practise on targets, never on live quarry, to establish the maximum range at which you and your rifle can consistently hit the positive kill area on your quarry; this is usually the head and is normally about 3 cms (1 1/4 ins) diameter maximum. Practise regularly to maintain and improve your skills. There is more skill in stalking close to your quarry, than taking a long shot. You should zero your sights (check their correct alignment) before starting any hunt. Always despatch wounded quarry quickly and with the minimum of suffering. Wounded rodents should be despatched with caution as they are capable of inflicting painful wounds. DO NOT TOUCH RATS. They may carry fatal diseases, so you should lift them with a fork or shovel. Always ensure that your air rifle is suitably powered for the quarry you intend to shoot and do not attempt a shot of over 35 metres. Never shoot at partially obscured quarry or shoot at quarry which could escape into cover before it can be retrieved. For example, do not shoot rabbits which are less than 2 metres from cover. BASC supports the legitimate right of any member to possess and to shoot at sporting quarry with any lawful air rifle of their choice. However, we consider that air rifles of the type for which no Firearms Certificate is required (those producing 12 ft/lbs muzzle energy or below) are insufficiently powerful to ensure humane kills of certain quarry species. We recommend that you refrain from using them on live quarry other than the following: crows, rook, jackdaws, magpies, jays, woodpigeon, collared doves, feral pigeons, brown rats, grey squirrels and rabbits. Certain types of air rifle are more suitable for hunting than others. Rifles to be avoided are those which take excessive time to charge, load and fire, and those which are in a poor state of repair. All air rifles must be well maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. If in doubt - consult your local dealer. Pellets used for hunting should be well made, consistent and compatible with the rifle. Apart from your rifle and pellets you may need a knife and suitable clothing. You must have a good reason for carrying a knife in a public place. Always remember to remove the knife from pockets or car after use. Apart from certain applications such as pigeon shooting, (where you will find decoys and hides useful) carrying excess equipment will only weigh you down. Always wear suitable and sensible footwear and clothing to suit your surroundings and the weather. If shooting in company appoint a leader and always ensure that each member knows the plan for the day. Power Lines

About Our Pellpax Pellet Samples Packs. Many of the more experienced air gunners amongst you, will be only too aware of how pellet fussy air rifles can be. Indeed, I have known two air rifles of exactly the same make, model and calibre to perform at their very best with two different makes of airgun pellet. We realise that for many of our knowledgeable customers some of the advice we give will be stating the obvious but hopefully it will enable the newcomers to our sport to obtain better results. The normal practice when buying a new air rifle would be to shoot as many different types of airgun pellets through as you can, with no less than a five shot group with each pellet type. The airgun pellet holding the tightest group of shots should be the ideal pellet to use in that air rifle to achieve the best accuracy. Obviously it would cost a small fortune to buy a whole tin of all the airgun pellets available, especially when you consider, that apart from the most suitable ones, you would probably never use the rest again. At Pellpax we have solved this problem for you, by providing a large cross section of pellet types to enable you to find the most suitable pellet for your weapon at a nominal cost. We have also included a corresponding target for each pellet type to avoid any confusion in the assessment. Many expert target shooters and pest control professionals, once they have ascertained the best pellet for their own weapons, will buy several tins from the same batch to maintain absolute consistency. Where each group of shots falls on the target is not important, it is how tight the group is. You can always move the point of impact to the centre by adjusting the sights. If you get one odd flyer outside the main group, it is more likely to be down to shooter error than pellet problem, so discount it, none of us are perfect. Please note, if like myself you become totally absorbed in the process and fascinated by what results the next pellet will achieve it is important to give yourself a rest at regular intervals. Pellet no 10 will not have the same level playing field as pellet no 1 if you allow yourself to become tired through firing 100 shots without a break, your marksmanship is bound to suffer. It is a good idea to stop and measure the exact group sizes after each pellet test and write down all the relevant information on the target for later evaluation including chronograph readings if you take them. To aid you with this we have included the weights in grammes of all the pellets included in the pack, using the distributors figures. Take care, if you are using a spring-powered airgun, do not rest it directly on to a hard surface when taking a shot, it would cause the airgun to shoot very erratically. Also note with new spring airguns they have a tendency to diesel a bit at first so make sure you fire plenty of shots with some spare airgun pellets to allow the rifle to settle down before carrying out the tests.
