Hi Huntnbdgr. I live in Ct. There are no laws against target shooting on your property with an air rifle. If the police show up, as long as your not a convicted felon or hunting your fine.Your even allowed to use it for pesting, as long as you don't harvest the meat as then it would be considered hunting. They can also be used for hunting small game with a hunting lisence. I'm not sure of any ranges down in your area. I'm lucky enough to have some property where I shoot. Come spring I'm building a permanent structure to shoot from. I live in Southington and if your ever up this way you can come shoot on my property. I have targets and shooting galleries from 50 yards out to 125 yards. Just send me a private message.
