It is an offence to fire an airgun within 50 feet of the centre of a public highway, If by doing so you cause any member of the public using that highway to be injured, interrupted or endangered. This applies even if you are on private property adjacent the highway. Public highways include roads, bridleways and public footpaths.

Does that mean it's an offence if shooting the gun causes injury? Or just shooting it is an offence?
He's well within those limits. There's a cobbled 10' wide walkway between our houses.
In fact, interrupted or endangered pretty much covers it I'd say.

They do not like people having lethal weapons such as air rifles so normally respond well to complaints, often confiscating the items to "check" their power level. Can be a right pain to get them back in one piece 
However, if he keeps it to his property, its legal (assuming their power is under 12ft/lbs or if over, they are both certified) |
Thanks Xaccers.
There's no more than a low wall and a gate, and the target's on the gate, so yeah - in his boundary, just not completely safe in my view.
