I have just phoned the police and I know that I need to use it on private land etc but I don't know if I can use it in my garden shooting at targets etc ?

You can use a non fac air weapon in your garden however you must be away from the public highway, public footpaths and bridal ways. The projectile IE the pellet must not leave your boundary.
The laws in the UK for armed trespass are very strict and carry a severe prison sentence.
