Thanks Oscar!

Thanks Bruce! Unfortunately my local gun club is a bit exclusive and the only other one is further away and only really DTL with shotguns (rifles etc apart from that)... Asking my gunsmith is a great idea!

Thanks Fisher!

Definitely get a lesson - in one lesson I learnt enough to go from a 30% kill rate to about 60% on sporting clays - and it's fun!

I've just posted a similar post! This is quite a useful bit of feedback I received:

Spot on - couldn't find them on the wildfowling Uk website - thanks Tom

Thanks bigfish - gilchrist had some good advice. Unfortunately the local wildfowling club is in Dorset - I don't think they're too keen on it in the New Forest! Thanks though!

It's a good 2 hour drive... I could ask him if he knows any farms further south towards me, yep. Thanks Luke

OF COURSE I don't mean doing anything stupid or illegal! I was simply wondering about other ways of asking permission! Some good ideas - thanks guys! I'll start with updating my profile, then knock on a few doors (with no expectations of a positive outcome!), and then look into beating next season... Any other ideas, please let me know! Thanks

Hi all, I've been shooting clays for years and spent some time on a friends farm (a long drive away) shooting pheasants, but out of season I'd like to shoot some pigeons. How do I go about starting? Is it just a case of knocking on local farmers' doors and asking if they would mind?! Or is there a more discreet way of going about it? Thanks! Tim
