another thing to check is your towns zone and regulations, some towns have laws that say its Illegal to discharge even an air gun, or firearm! and there also are restrictions on how far away from houses and such you have to be to HUNT or shoot, so, you need to be talking to your town zoning officer and the state game dept here to know for sure what is legal to be doing or not,
Asking on a forum is NOT the way to get real ANSWERS!
AS folks here even with good intentions can be wrong and that can lead you to getting into legal troubles!
better way to get correct answers is talk to the officials in YOUR area! and get correct and ACCURATE info on things for YOU!
