  1. So how the **** are you supporting a shoot when you expect your deposit back when a shoot as outlaid tens of thousands and come the season we are still in the same position????? Who is giving the Shoot their money back???? But your keeping a keeper in a job but bankrupting a shoot. All shots need guns like yourself
  2. That’s all well and good your going to get your deposit back! If it comes October and we still have in place social distancing our we have a second wave of this virus?? You get your deposit back is that supporting shoots???? All the work and cost that goes into the season to be lost would you have the balls to go a head this season.
  3. I’m not a wanna be I’ve got two shoots myself and your figures tell me you haven’t done your home work mate. You need £27 a bird just to break even.And that’s not keepered
  4. You need to look at your figures mate. 10x 120 bird days at £1500?????? Not possible to do unless you are willing to loss a lot of money. At a 40% return you would need 3000 birds if you buy poults that’s 10k Feed to get them ready to shoot at 20 weeks is another £4.500 pellets for 3000 birds will cost £3200 to get them to 14 weeks. To achieve 40% you will need good cover crops, good woodland and cover crops are about £500 an acre to put in then they have to be fenced. then you will need to buy all the feeders, drinkers, all the fencing for your pens, electric fencing. You will have no change from 25k and that’s not paying rent. Then you need all the beaters and picker ups hospitality on the day the cost just go’s on.
  5. It’s not me mate is the wife she needs looking after so she keeps cooking 👍

  12. I’m with it Mr Jdog I was just asking a question on the day that was had.
  13. It was just a question! As with are shoot we pride are selves on the day not just the shooting, I’ve have been invited to chatsworth house on two occasions but did not have time to stop.
  14. Good value for money that for driven shooting what hospitality did get.
  15. We still require 2/3 more beaters for this season to join are merry band of men women and children. We start are season on the 19th Oct and shoot every Saturday. All will be well feed and watered with a full driven day for the beaters on the 28th Dec.
  16. I would second this as maize is selling in my area at £450 acre so it will not be there long. Just make sore they leave the blocks you put in place to be left.
