Slavia,I think you solved the mystery,concerning that feral pigeon that was found expired next to my wife's flower pot.Funny....it looks just like the one that crapped on the back of my neck recently.....   Posted: Fri Nov 04, 2011 1:21 pm viper2788 Member Joined: 13 Oct 2011 Posts: 98 Location: Montgomery County, MD not so much when i had my crosman 2100 classic... although some neighbors would seldom complain and have asked me to shoot elsewhere. my backyard is like a piece of a pie along with other neighbors so i normally wouldnt shoot when people are around. now, however, i dont shoot around my house anymore. i recently bought a crosman nitro venom, and the thing looks just like a real gun with the scope! just to be safe, i bought a rifle case and i only go shooting out in the woods. i doubt i'll ever run into any mischief this way... but it really does limit my shooting. instead of being able to shoot every day around the house, im limited to one or two sessions a week now since i work full time. i swear 10 years ago people werent as paranoid...   Posted: Sat Nov 05, 2011 6:48 pm SureShot_ca Member Joined: 23 Oct 2011 Posts: 43 Location: N.B.

Say viper2788, how about trying to shoot your Venom out one of your windows into your backyard. I for one would like to know how long it takes the police to arrive Seriously, everytime I head out into my backyard with my airguns I'm conscious of my neighbors. From a distance most airguns look pretty realistic. _________________ Benjamin NP Trail (0.22) SIG Sauer X-Five Open (0.177) Marksman 1792 (0.177) Crosman 3576 (0.177) Crosman 1377 (0.177) Elite II (0.177)   Posted: Wed Nov 09, 2011 8:44 pm RVTMaverick Member Joined: 05 Sep 2011 Posts: 59 Location: VA. Hey SureShot & viper, I take it You 2 don't have 6' privacy fence around your backyards...? FWIW: I've got Such a 6' fence around my whole backyard, which actually goes up 1 side, to even with the front of my house...= AWESOME! Yes it was alot of money but worth Every single dollar. So, the only way for the neighbors to see anything would to climb up a ladder, just to look over my fence....   Posted: Thu Nov 10, 2011 5:09 am cactusrat Member Joined: 20 Dec 2010 Posts: 64 Location: South Texas Here’s a thought for you guys and girls that have to worry about neighbors. Get your skill (circular/ power) saw out make a few cuts so the neighbors think your building something. Then shoot a way with your pellet guns. If anybody ask about your air gun report, tell them that you have a air nail/staple gun. Now for those that have a loud pellet guns, get a 22 nail gun a pop a few nails into a board so the neighbors will again think your building something. Heck while your at it build the neighbors a bird house for their yard. It wouldn’t have to be very pretty or anything fancy. Just act like your really proud of the bird house and would be delighted if they put it up in their backyard. In fact make it as ugly as you can. It serves your neighbor right for such a$$ about shooting your bb gun. Who knows, a target might move into it. _________________ Glenn South Texas   Posted: Thu Nov 10, 2011 8:02 am Slavia Moderator Joined: 31 Mar 2008 Posts: 4382 Location: Waseca, Minnesota, USA It might work. Here in Minnesota established shooting ranges have to limit gunfire to the hours of 0700 to 2200. A cranky neighbor once called the sheriff to report gunfire before 0700 - it was guys building a shed with nail guns. Plausible deniability through acoustic camouflage. _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Thu Nov 10, 2011 8:44 am RVTMaverick Member Joined: 05 Sep 2011 Posts: 59 Location: VA. LMAO Great idea there cactusrat, Just don't get carried away shooting though, right,... You have to go and cut acouple boards here and there..... as the neighbors might get to wondering.... Way was it I heard the skill saw for 2 min. and he's been running his nail gun for the last 45 min....?

We are aloud to here in Suffolk, Va., YOU just have to make sure NO Pellets\bbs go out of your yard. Also for the comment about being in the books forever.... Don't think like that because just this Year BOTH Chesapeak and Portsmouth just changed their laws about this, so PEPS can once again shoot in their own yards! Yes our great Governor signed into law that all citizens can shoot their air guns on their own property to stop the cities from trying to make it illegal here in VA. I have just over a half acre and try to shoot daily. Getting harder now that it gets dark before I can get home.

The yard is actually rectangular, so there are increasing depth of woods on each side as you go down toward the RR tracks. The dog loves to crash through there at night and scare out racoons.
