sonofsammo Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Here's a conversation I had with a local airgun/shotgun site. I was a member when I had air rifles. I wanted to find out if I could use my rifs there. Apparently not. But no actual explanation as to why... Very annoying, as I have nowhere to test/zero my rifs :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Rogerborg Posted April 18, 2018 Supporters Share Posted April 18, 2018 Drop in and ask them face to face, in a non-aggressive, constructive manner? Like we used to do before the intardnets turned us all into sociopaths. Although at the end of the day, their gaff, their rules. If they're not short on custom, and are really looking to make money from renting out airguns, there's no particular reason for them to accommodate us.

callumbagshaw Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 If they're used to air rifles then they should probably have overlapping security/safety protocols in place to cover an airsoft RIF. Only thing I can think is that they don't fancy having plastic BBs lying around.... Also, depends what kind of range they have set up - if you shoot a pellet at wood it will either go into the wood or bounce off probably a few feet - a plastic BB hitting wood can ping off it a considerable distance. **Edit** - if you just want to zero scopes and change a spring you can ask basically anyone with private land if you could use their land for a short while , since you're not shooting at people- maybe offer a local farmer a few beers or something along those lines.... You'll look like a mentalist but I wouldn't let that get ya down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
