Alarge part of the enjoyment of airgunning, or most other types of shooting for that matter, is that it gets you outdoors into the fresh air. If you are fortunate to get a permission there’s a good chance it will be in a rural environment and you’ll be lucky enough to be able to go about your sport in our amazing and beautiful countryside.
One such area is the aquatic habitat of rivers, streams and standing water. After all, farms by their very nature were established around water courses to supply livestock and crops, with the knock-on effect of creating a sustainable habitat for wildlife. Unfortunately, not all that wildlife is complementary to the healthy operation of the farm and food production, so some degree of lethal control is required to keep the numbers of pest species in check.
