Was cleaning a custy in wallington (sutton) yesterday and I heard wood chopping?
I opened the back gate and my dog ran in the garden while I cleaned the side windows....
then he came back and started hovering around my legs.
I moved to the back windows and hear the "CHOP" again and then a ricochet of a pellet on the fence and realized that the guy next door was sitting in his house with the doors open and had a full "rifle " sticking out and he was target practicing with his pellet gun.
But one of the pellets had shot across and hit the fence right next to me. I shouted to him and said "just wait till I am done" but I dont think he heard me.
I buggered off asap.

Report to the police if you want some sort of justice, what an idiot, he could of blinded you, a friend of mine once accidentally blinded his mate with a stray air rifle pellet, not good.

Totally agree report this Muppet to the police, he wasn't shooting at your dog by any chance ?

I had the same happen to me a few years back - I was actually working at a school. I hopped over the fence, took the rifle off the guy and threw it into a big clump of brambles nearby.

A fella who lives in a house that backs onto mine did this last summer. He was shooting targets on his back shed but they were bouncing off into my garden, couldn't beleive it, especially with a toddler in my garden.
I went and had a word and it hasn't been a problem since.

next time you go have someone riding shotgun ! on a serious note report him to old bill

An offence is only committed if the pellet leaves the boundary of the property where the shooting took place. Same with any bullets or shotgun pellets.
I have to be careful on my shooting permissions with my .22LR as it ricochets quite easily.
Sounds like the guy didnt have a good enough back stop.

So I wouldn't be breaking the law firing a shotgun in my back garden aslong as nothing leaves my boundary?

If it's within 50ft of the centre of a road and is likely to upset or inconvenience someone, it's an offence even if the pellets stay on your land.
