So in the past days i have tried the hunter approach to getting a air rifler > 1.77 / 4.5 mm
The law here state there is 2 ways you can do that.
1: you can be a hunter with a hunting permit of course, in which case you just buy what rifle / caliber you like.
A "large " caliber rifle must of course be stored like any hunting weapon so a lockable rifle safe.
Additional you can get a hunting licence, this is generally dont by taking a evening class on the subject ( not idea how many weeks this is ) but you can actually take a crash course and get a hunting licence in 4 weeks, this if course will cost something VS evening classes which i think are free.
Anyway passing a 40 question written test ( need 36 correct ) and then a practical exam in weapon handling and discharge + range evaluation / safety, that is still a lot i feel to be able to procure a air rifle to shoot paper.
2; Via a membership of a sports shooting club.
I dont think this is possible CUZ with air at least they only shoot 4.5 mm and the traditional disciplines
Also i am not aware of a single such club that have the opportunity to shoot benchrest, and for sure not distances over 50 M, only if the club have handicap facilities would this be somewhat possible i assume.
So having depleted my options ( fast ) in the hunting department, i am left with the sports clubs, and these i have today contacted 4 of by E-mail.
So will be interesting to see what they say, but TBH i have my doubts that this is in any way possible, i suppose due to a set of HYPER strict and complicated rules, and maybe a bucket load of conservatism in the clubs,,,,, " anything new is dangerous and should be avoided, and we better not rock the boat "
If any Danish members know of a easier way ( legal of course ) well i am all ears,,,,, Dumbo sized ears.
