I've re-posted this in the paid-for shooting section. Thinking 'free' meant free of advert charge, I put it here by accident. Admin - please remove this one if appropriate. We're looking for two full guns to join a walk-stand self-keepered shoot that has decided to press ahead with shooting this year. With suitable contingency plans in place to accommodate social distancing, we've ordered 1000 birds for release in August. Members are expected to do their bit and, even if work parties cannot go ahead, all tasks are delegated. We're particularly looking for someone who is good with machinery maintenance/care but this is not an essential. As we do all the preparatory work and feed duty ourselves, priority will be given to applicants who reside within easily travelling of the shoot. We plan to shoot 8 or 10 days from early Nov. As an experiment, we'll also be organising four evenings duck flighting (mallard and teal) this year on our 5 ponds. Also a Feb roost shoot, and (for deer stalkers) we have a second syndicate of stalkers who shoot over a 400 acre mixed woodland/pasture and have had great success since we started this last year. Shoot is between Monmouth and Chepstow. In past seasons we've released a mixture of phez (1200) and partridge (60) and have achieved an average 50 bird day. With less birds to wood this year we are limiting the risk and therefore expect slightly smaller bags. We are a very friendly shoot with a great sense of camaraderie and a real emphasis on safety. We enjoy good facilities such as a shoot hut and a large, heated lunch facility. PM for details.

a vacancy has come up in the syndicate I run. Below is an edited version of an advert I have run in the past explaining what is available. This syndicate I have shot for nearly 20 years and run for the last 6 years. It is not first come first served but who suits the best. All current members ages range for low 30's to mid 50's. The walking is quiet demanding so you must be physically fit and be up for work. This is a social syndicate. Shoot just between Alnwick and Morpeth in Northumberland. £315 (this season). The shoot is £350 this year but one day has been shot. Shoot saturday, 9 days left. 100 duck and 510 pheasant released this year. Shot 1 times this season, the bag was 30, that was just giving them a kick up ready for the main days to start a week on saturday. 14 members 2 x teams(stay the same all season), walk one stand one, pegs drawn and teams swap over drives every week. I do all keeping, you will be expected to do 1 feeder fill per season (anytime the assigned month). Full break down of money spent (to the last penny) given at the end of the season. You take turns doing 11's, one week a bottle, the next some food, all guns do this to cater for all who attend, voluntary beaters, kids (not the bottles lol). Insurance cover needed. Any other questions? Dogs? No time wasters please, only genuine interest only, I ain't got time for anything else. I can supply you with a number of peoples names on here via PM to verify the above. PLEASE ONLY CONTACT VIA PM PLEASE.
