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.

Update. Still no laws against it but check your city or towns ordinances. It is banned in New Britain. Here is the text from New Britain’s code of ordnances.
Sec. 16-78. - Sale or use of air rifles and slingshots prohibited.
No person shall carry, use or discharge within the city limits any slingshot, bow and arrow, or any air gun, air rifle or similar device for the discharge of shot, bullet or projectile by compressed air.
(Code 1970, § 15-10)
