Wanted: Land wanted in Bucks to practice air rifle off sticks, happy to pay.

[Scarpa]

Hi all, as is usual for me I am coming across from the Austrian Alps to work in Aylesbury on highway management for 5 months July to Dec. I usually do a bit of deer stalking and range days while I'm over, I have a visitor's firearms pass etc but I'm looking for a bit of land approx 50m long so that I can keep my eye in by using my air rifle for target practice off my new quad sticks. If any farmers or land owners have a bit of waste ground I'd be happy to pay for access, I'd also inform them when entering or leaving the ground. I have a folding target box to collect any pellets. I'm a BASC member with DSCL1, I have County Council ID and can provide references. Just chucking this out there as it would be really helpful to me. All my old shooting grounds are up in North Wales where I used to live but it's a bit of a trek.

May be worth adding you only need a maximum of 50M with a backstop if planning to use the scaled DJV roe and/or fox targets. Perhaps even less if using the 10m 177 targets?

Best of luck

Ps: Sorry, I see you have indeed mentioned the 50M requirement!

@Scarpa this little rimfire and air rifle range is about 15mins drive from Aylesbury

I’m sure you’d be able to shoot off sticks there as the guy that runs it is a game keep for the local estate in the village.

There is also an air rifle range at Alders carp fishery in Geat Brickhill so you have a couple of options that will be way easier than trying to get access from a farmer.

Hope this helps..

Cheers all.

Cheers, looks good. I have a good recommendation for a nearby range plus a guy here is asking a few farmer friends for me. I just arrived back in Bucks this morning after almost a thousand miles of driving, dropped my rifle of at the RFD and settled in to the new place in Aylesbury.

There's also this place. If you are happy to travel up as far as Brickhill this won't be much further .... Homepage | Wold Farm

Or settle for 25m at .... https://ontargetrange.co.uk/ in Northampton.
