Wait for the next game season and find a local shoot to beat on /help out you might get some roost shooting from it and possible pigeon shooting from a fellow gun or beater with some permission you've just got to put yourself out there

Last I heard off a butcher near me was £5 a pheasant fully prepared for the table , plucked, gutted , cleaned & cling wrapped ready for the oven

Premier guns??

Hia just thought I would pop this up if anyone is interested A&D supplies of northwich are offering a new hatsan 12 gauge semi auto . 250 hull superfast pigeon cartridges & a hull cartridge cap for £345. Thought it might be of use to anyone either starting out or after a cheap semi auto https://www.aadsupplies.com/

I just got 500 superfast 27gram 7.5s fibre & 500 superfast pigeon 29gram 6s fibre with a free hull superfast cap for £200 at a & D supplies it's a case of shopping around normally around £10-20 difference sometimes between shops

Yes sorry chaps got my dates missed up none were shot as said nice to see them in good numbers

We had a skirmish day on the 1st of Feb for the end of the season we all agreed not to shoot the woodcock one drive produced 16 woodcock it was brillant to see them in such good numbers they hadn't really made a appearance on are shoot till early December time.

I've not had harkila myself but I know they own seeland as well . I've had nothing but problems with seelands kraft force trousers not even six months old and I've gone through two pairs having them sent back again as the stitching has failed in the exact same place as the first pair. Defiently do a review on harkila before you go to the expense!

Not been out yet but will update next Saturday at lymm area . Not seen many about when beating the other week

Lyavale express pigeon power were the cheapest cartridges around near me when I priced them a few weeks ago perhaps it may be worth ringing your local gunsmith for a price they are a very good cartridge I used them last summer they are 29gram 6s fibre or plastic

Yes that is the only problem with just cartridges the postage often kills any savings but perhaps if the OP it close to them he could collect in person saving the £15 postage

Just cartridges are doing there own game loads sure there 32gram 6s fibre for £59.75 for 250 you've the £15 postage to add on top tho

Penn surfblaster reels are excellent comes with two spools one for mono and one for braided line . Penn rampage surf is a good rod to match it with as well

Premier guns ashbourne plenty of left handed shotguns in stock might be able to get a good deal with the shooting show on at Birmingham there doing free gun fits to the first 100 people on there stands

I've a picture of it on my phone but it won't let me upload it as the file is to big . It's has game scene engraving on the side plates . But it hasn't got the black and gold colouring on the side like the jubilee models that Google & gun trader show . I was told it was up for £750 but I didn't contact the seller to double check. if you like I could email the picture to you? Have managed to find a link to one on gun star that has sold https://www.gunstar.co.uk/lincoln-prestige-20-bore-gauge-over-and-under/Shotguns/903298

There's a lincoln prestige for sale in my local club when I Google it tho it's only comes up with the lincoln prestige jubilee models as if the standard prestige had never been made

With a £800 budget I would try pick up a lanber, lincoln or even a nice winchester 101 for around 400-500 mark and spend the rest of the budget on lessons , clays & cartridges

Cheers chaps I will pay a visit to my local gunsmith and pick up a few more boxes of cartridges & dig out the camo wear 👍

Any tips? Just done a seasons beating & have been given roost shooting on the land for February What loads are best? I normally use 29gram 6s pigeon powers but some have said to use a little heavier to get through the branches etc

Muck boots! I got mine in the sale meant to be £110 I think got them for £28 delivered to my door just done a full season of beating & shooting in them & use them for dog walking everyday

I'd get a five cabinet at the very least! I speak from experience I got a three gun cabinet off eBay for £80 new delivered it can only hold two guns at best as I had the same thought as you I would only have the one shotgun....I am now in the market for a second shotgun and it's not even been twelve months since I got my cert through & I could see myself getting a third in the future easily

....I only get paid one pie a day where I beat 😂😂 you lads have got it good!

😂😂 never a truer word spoken!!

Hello & welcome to pigeon watch if you need a club to shoot air rifles / rifles at please give the boar clay ground a look it's near crowden just through glossop around 25 minutes away from marple. They may also be able to help with getting your f.a.c but it would be for target shooting only not open ticket

Think that is the general thought in are beaters group chat on Facebook I think a lot of us will be leaving for somewhere new in the coming season! This is only my first season at this shoot while I really enjoy the day with all the beaters I've met at this shoot over the season I think we are just fed up with the guns and the way the day is organised the gamekeepers hands are pretty much tied as the landowner/shoot captain simply will not let her run the day as she would like to & insist on running drives wrong & putting guns where they aren't needed and does not want anyone to back gun the woods as we knock them through!
