    Out my back door at the moment!! and only when the girlfriend
    is not nagging about the sound of the Airsofts and when the neighbors
    are not about. Shame really my AEG's are ever increasing but have
    no place local to shoot or partisapate in the sport.

    My back garden has high trees all around it so it is pretty private but not ideal. The garden itself is a bit small and you cant get a good range in it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,163 ✭✭✭✭Boston


    HRTA, and currently looking into using a range at Trinity.

    Out the back garden, in against the wall where the neighbours can't see :(

    You guys are lucky. My back yard is so small, I have to come inside to change my mind......:(
    Anyone know anyone with a barn?

    At the moment I shoot in my attic!! don#t laugh!! mini range up there. Jus t don't won't to p*ss off my neighbours, as I'm sure if they saw me walking around with a m4 (for god sake think of the children!) i'd be recieving a call from the boys in blue!! ah yes, a barn...for the love of god!!! a barn, such........space!
    :);)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,414 ✭✭✭kdouglas


    that all depends on the size of the barn :D

    yup, hrta only for me so far, gonna take a trip to predator at the end of the month and then maybe a trip to drogheda soon after, occasional test-firing out my back garden when i get a new aeg

    Edit: just to clarify, there are quite high fences in my garden and i test fire down between two garden shed's where the bbs have no path to bounce back out/over the fence

    Also least that way I'd stand a chance of hitting the broadside of one. Of course it'd help if I was inside it at the time.......:(

    At the moment - only in my apartment - the BBs are everywhere :)

    I place the target at one end of the hall, and plink away from the other end. Got some nasty rebounds, so I bought one of those targets with a net on the back.

    ... In the name of the Holy Marui DO NOT fire full auto in your bed room.

    I just did (an accident I assure you) and it really chews up the dry wall.


    Anyone know a good plaster for filling 1joule dents and holes? :(

    ha, tried that once, it looks cool when the puffs of blaster comes away from the wall, but then your left with holes so not so good :D

    Yeah ... that makes it tempting to do it again :D But I wont, its irresponsible and unfortunately expensive to fix before the land lady sees it.

    Unfortunately, I have to sneak my gun past my super-pacifist housemates to avoid a lecture, so I usually have to wait until everyone's gone. If I fire it in the room it's highly likely the walls will crumble completely, and my floor is already coated in a carpet of bbs, I haven't been able to walk barefoot since I got the gun :(

    However, this weekend I get to go home where I can shoot to my heart's content. Very much hoping the M4 arrives before then.

    Ah back garden all the way but only when no one's around. The house is off limits since my bro shot a cereal box without any regard for what was behind it... he put a nice spidery crack in the kitchen window.

    Would love a nice bit of land... the graden isn't big enough!

    Ive got a big enough BG, bout 35 meters so u can get a bit of plinking done. Nothing like having a BBQ with friends and shooting cd's lined up against the (15 foot) wall.

    Finally a suitable use for Celine Dion!!!!!!!

    Live in an apartment so I wait till my other half heads to work and I line up the beer cans and various other targets at the end of the hallway. bout 15 feet. My new target is a little jinglebell like you might find at the end of a santa hat.(bout the size of a 5 cent piece). Love launching that little mother in the air !!

    Me mother has a nice big backyard but she has no idea of my airsoft interest so if I turned up for sunday dinner with a bag full of h&k's I don't think she'd be too impressed !!

    "No! Not Blue Monday!"

    I'll be picking up my M4 tomorrow so I get to run around my parent's back garden (including part of a big foresty area) all day Saturday, woot.

    I shoot at Predator and FRV. Glad to see so many guys heading up to predator soon you'll really enjoy it anyone who has been there before knows how excellent a place it is.
    also plink in the back garden ( half acre in the middle of the country side so theres no one to cause any fuss). I'm embarressed to say I'm not 20 mins from Drogheda airsoft and have yet to show my ugly mug there. but after HRTA this coming sunday I shall be endevering to make more of an effort to support my local guys.
