Garden shooting rules?

[Segata]

Beg your pardon mixed up metres with feet but yeah it's a bit thats open to interpretation, you can shoot near yes but you can't be seen to be likely to case an impedence so you have to gauge it on how an Officer might see it, this is where going heavy on your backstop can save you as it shows reasonable prevention so the complaint is not upheld.

Thanks guys, pretty much as I expected to be honest.
Will be shooting to the rear of my modest back yard, probably no more that to check zero, however, we do have a bit of an issue with the odd rat or two!
I live in a mid terrace, wooden fences all round but have a three inch thick, by 4 1/2 feet diameter tree trunk section mounted on the fence, over which I have a metal pellet trap.
Rifle will be moderated.
My main concern is that neighbour's can over look my back yard and I do not want to 'scare' them....'Oh no!!! There's a man with a gun in his back yard, lets call the police!!!'

Tbh if you own the place theres little they can acctually do unless you do something actually illegal, I'm in a similar set up, Mid-Terrace with wooden fenced gardens that in my case go to a bit of waste ground and then a school field, situated my range so any backstop failure goes into a rubble pile and no further (it can happen so always account for it), backstops wise if you're unsure there was a thread a little while ago that has a lot of good ideas and if you're ever unsure you can always ask here and one of us will help.

I may have a problem as my house, which I own outright, actually backs on to the back garden of another house, i.e. two rows of terrace houses, back to back, hence my 'neighbours' worries.
Loving the advice though guys....
None of them have bothered when I have shot out there with my Umerex pistol though!

Thats not a problem as long as your Ammunition does not leave your boundry i.e goes out of your garden into theirs, tbh a CO2 Pistol Rep clacking away would draw more attention than a conventional Air Rifle would so if they weren't bothered by that then you needn't worry but again, aslong as you keep it legal, have a decent back stop and don't make a racket at an unsociable hour theres little they can do even if they don't like it.
