So anyone with a bit of land could give permission to licensed airgun shooters to eg target shoot?
Without being a formal club?
Just trying to think of ways to confuse em!
After all even in SNP Scotland you must have a right to carry out legal activities on your own land and nobody says shooting a licensed airgun is illegal.
And when is a Club a Club?
If I give permission to five blokes to shoot on my land that isn't a Club.

Will an air rifle club or air rifle shooting area need to have a section 11 like a clay club after the new legislation is introduced?
This is a weird bit of misunderstood law. If I as a shotgun holder took my friend to my permission where I control vermin or shoot game (land not owned by me) and gave my friend (not a license holder) a shot of my shot gun under my supervision I would be breaking the law! Only the landowner could supervise my friend legally.
However if we went to a clay ground and carried out the same role we would not be breaking the law as they hold a section 11 exemption!
Will this apply to air rifle clubs! If so the introduction of new non certificated members would be risky unless the the club were in possession of said section 11 exemption!

More Clubs to add ?
Any more Clubs list them here .
Any NEW Clubs starting ? Please post here .
I will then ask the Mods to 'sticky ' this and tidy up the thread .
If people know where Clubs are it will be half the battle won in applying for a Licence ....club membership will be one of the 'valid reasons' to apply
for a Licence . Not everyon can be a 'collector' or vermin controller ....
So far no Clubs it seems in outlying areas .North or West ...

Scottish Airgun Clubs
I'm over in Scourie mate, 6,000 acres of un-used estate land and can't get a permission for zeroing. Nearest club is Strathpeffer about 85 miles. How about the foreshore though ? Wildfowling between low and high watermark without permission, just access permission required. Worth an enquiry.
