Hello all,
I have a Precihole VX100 air rifle. I used to shoot it on the terrace of my house. But because of neighbours, I had to discontinue shooting. The rifle is simply sitting in the stirage room ever since.
However, I wish to start shooting the rifle again. Not for serious target shooting but just for fun. I could not find any place around my house to shoot the rifle.
If you guys have any idea about the place where I can go and shoot for fun, please let me know!
Thank you
My experience

Hi Sky56,
I am from Cochin but my hometown is in a suburban area 100 KM's away. We have a good spread of farm land where I can target practice or even hunt crows anytime without anybody bothering. But since I work in kochi I can't travel 100 KM's just to shoot. So what I did was I took a ride in search for a good land. Preferably gated and walled. Then I found the owner of couple of good spots and told them that I am a competitive shooter and I need a place to practice badly (use ur in born actor for more effective results) I also took along my rifle and few pellets to show them it won't be too loud or can't do any real harm.. and out of 4 PPL I spoke to 2 agreed and I now have 2 different spots where I do regular plinking..
Hope it helps

I feel you were lucky. Generally people are not supportive in this respect.

There are private airgun ranges popping up all across the country, I'm sure you should be able to locate one in a town the size of Vadodara.

I believe private property which is well defined, non-encroachable and guarded by the terrain is a perfect spot for a Target Range.

Abhijeet sir, as this question for airguns, is there any legal formality for firearms?

Per arms rules 2016, firearm ranges require a license.
