Thanks for the welcome. I do have a backyard but my break barrels are loud lol. Last thing I want to do is get in trouble here in nassau county. This county is crap. Even when I go fresh water fishing, people look at me like I have two heads. There like....OMG WHAT ARE YOU DOING!. I get asked 100 questions. Nobody can mind their business. I was called the devil once when I was fishing. Lady told me I was the devil and cruel to animals. I need to move out of NY.

Welcome to AGN. I'm from Nassau County too. I left there for good when I went into the military and I'm now retired in another state. From what you described the place has not changed.

For a place to shoot have you checked to see if their is any public hunting land in your area?

For a starter gun, I would go .22. Like was said, easier to load pellets, lots of ammo options.

Welcome to the airgun world... I just joined too couple months back and i think the forum is very informative... And also the members are very helpful... Mostly i'm a silent reader, but if i need information that i didn't get in YouTube i always asked in the forum and many good people help me...

Good day all. New to the forum. so I got hooked on air powered rifles when I was very young. I would shoot my dads diana that he bought back in the 80s when he was in Italy. whenever I would go visit, my cousin and I would grab the diana in .177 and just have a blast. Got hooked since. I forgot which model it was. Now I own my own diana, few gamos. All break barrel. I want to get my first PCP air rifle. Still deciding which one I want to get.

any people from long island? was wondering where you guys go to shoot? I heard brookhaven has an air rifle range. Never been there before.

Welcome.. I'm on long island too.. Suffolk.. I just shoot in my back yard.. never went to a range.. just shot 2 Hosps right before i wrote this..

The pellet range at beookhaven has been closed but you can still go to the regular rifle range. **** Want to to buy or Want to Sell only allowed in classified section****

Welcome to the forum. New here as well and on the search for a similar NY acceptable backyard quiet air rifle. Take a look for rod and gun clubs or other shooting ranges. Sometimes membership openings can be an issue but I know there are a handful throughout LI.

Be extremely careful, airguns are regarded as the same as firearms for shooting. Must be 500ft from any dwellings or it's illegal.

Now you just need to hope the cops find it amusing as well if they investigate.

Thanks for the information.. I was driving 56 in a 55 yesterday as well.. would you enlighten me on the legalities of that..

 

[Bandito]

Don't know how the NY laws are worded. But if they declare airguns to be firearms they break a Federal law that says you can NOT declare an airgun to be a firearm. Be careful trying to rely on that. YMMV. And welcome to AGN from the state of Misery, not far from KC. Be Well, Bandito.

I wouldn't bother because 1 mph over the speed limit is exactly the same as reckless endangerment.
