Hi guys, I am part of a small self managed rough shoot in Henly-in-Arden. We have 2 possibly 3 guns available for next season. We have a few work parties in the off season to manage the land and prepare for the new birds so willingness to help out is appreciated but not required. We also have access to the land all year round for vermin shooting. Roughly 300 acres. You would also be expected to help with the feeding and topping up feeders in certain areas throughout the year once the birds are in place. Unless you pay for gun only. We normally put down 100 ducks and 100-150 pheasant each year and shoot 10 days through the season. Of which we have 6-7 self driven/beaten drives a day. Our bags are anywhere from 2 to 20 birds so not huge but fun. We are also located in the middle of 3 other surrounding large shoots so often get a-lot of spill over. Ideally you would also have a dog to assist with the beating. We are a nice mixed bunch of guys that enjoy being out on the farm. The price for a gun and assisting with work parties and feeding is £400. The price for just a gun with no work parties or feeding is £500. Let me know if your interested at all. We are also looking for beaters or people with dogs. Our shoot is also ideal for training your dog as we are all relaxed and would be grateful for having the dog with us. Thanks Nick.

Hi, I'm looking to join a syndicate for the coming season, as close as possible to the Lothians. I'm not bothered at all by bag size, rather after a place to work my cocker and enjoy the countryside. If you have or know about anything available, please get in touch. I know it's a long shot but might be lucky! Thanks

Hello, I am looking for shooting in the East Yorkshire area in exchange for fishing on a prime beat of the Driffield West Beck. I'm looking for preferably rough/walk up shooting and Duck flighting/wild fowling but would be more than happy with regular Pigeon shooting as well. If someone would be happy to take me a a guest or on a few trips then that would be great too . I am a young gun (18) but am very experienced and am currently training up a young springer who is coming along well and has accompanied me on a few trips. Many thanks Will

Hi all, Trying to navigate though the new world of cyber meet and greet and throwing a line out to anyone that might be able able to help... Last year I returned back to the glorious rolling hillsides of Hampshire, after a 5 year stint in dry dusty Australia and I'm looking to meet someone/people that wouldn't mind giving me abit of a intro back into shooting.. I started shooting when I was about 12 originally with an old 410 hammer action poachers side by side, shooting pigeons and rats, rabbits, going along with a family friend on a rough shoot he was a member of. Then went along as a half gun on the same rough shoot and I absolutely loved it, got my shotgun licence owned a few labs decided the country life was for me.. then I hit 18 and booze and girls and gave up . I have never shot to a high standard but I just love being out, walking for hours, being with the dogs sitting in hides WAITING..!! Since I have been back I've tried to make contact with the old club I was part of but most of the old boys I went with I guess, don't have the internet.. I'm looking to join a rough shoot and chip in with feeding of birds, maintainanace of pens/woodland etc, I'd like to come along for a few days and not shoot and then join for next year, ideally carrying on abit of out of season pest control with my new shooting family.. I'm based in Portsmouth/Southampton half way in between but I'm neither Pompey or saints. I'm work mon-fri till 5 as an electrician so shooting sat would suit me best.. If you can put me in touch with any clubs I'd be more than grateful, I'm not looking for huge bags or a huge cost thanks in advance, Mike

H I Guys I am looking to join my 1st game shooting syndicate this year and would like it ideally situated within these counties, If any one can point me in the right direction, I have tried guns on pegs and others to try and locate details, but they seem to be a bit thin on the ground at the moment.

All. Who would like to start up a syndicate with me from the wirral area? (NOW!) in short I am looking for 6-10 guns to join me in a completely open book management of , this year rough, next year our own birds shoot. 500 acres in total (split between 2 lands) plus 2 duck ponds. (exclusively on all unless we decide we can bring guests) These lands come complete with a keeper of 20 years, man and boy living and beating in the area. It is my intention he will be paid well. Fed well and beer'ed up. We have the feeders and grain. We are ready to roll for the start of the season. 6-8 guns (or more) who are not Syndicate owners, land hunters, but want to go when you can to the shoot, at least fortnightly, in a group or as I like, 2 of with own dogs. A democracy where we all decide what is best for the land, what we want to do with it going forward etc.I want to go on every saturday, meet up with a couple of lads, organise a rough, walk up, mini drive, what ever. Have a good walk with my dogs, miss everything in the air, have a laugh over a beer... and let off steam. I have 3 areas in the north of wales I am talking to the land owners about. These are not definite but we have a backup piece of land. The duck ponds are a cert. depending on the response will depend on what we can afford. 250 acres plus 100 acre separate areas we can use in the afternoon only. Sheep land in a valley completely secluded with one route in and out. I never saw a car or a person on my shoots. (I got pics) 20-40 degree incline west facing. River at the bottom. Larks' wood, hedges, gorse 2 dingle, 2 coppice 6 feeders (6? to go in). On the south side (not part of the shoot) is heather. For the summer it is full of bunnies. Full of them! I cut my teeth on this land. There has been no birds put down for 5 years but I out of 6 rough visits bagged 2 bunnies, 8 pheasant, 3 woodcock (my first) , the odd crow and jay, its a valley and the birds don’t leave. It can easily be a full 6 hours walk from end to end top to bottom. 200-250 acres of sheep land again. South facing 20 - 30 degree incline. Big pine spruce and oak wood. Crops on 2 fields. Had birds down 2 years ago to support an estate. The pen are still there but I don’t know ho many or how many feeders. Intention again next season is to put bird down. This would be welcomed and supported from surrounding estates. Duck shoot. 2 ponds. This is a cert. 500 ducks went down last year and there are still wild (counted 60 on saturday) living quite happily there. I will be honest we have been able to get 50 for this year (ducks ready in 6 weeks) Plus goose use the run as there flight in but you need a sharp eye to hit them as they are high. We have been and are feeding the ponds a bag a week. Next season it is the intention to put in 500 again. If not just to put back to the regions level (share and share alike) but to pay for our way for next year by accompanied guests. Again we will work out the figures and all agree up front. So what do I want to start with is 6-10 guns. Money obviously.. Estimate dependant on Response £300 -£500 for the year (I can split and pay on the go as is needed if you cannot effort this up front. I wont stand you over just cos you are not rolling in it. As I said this is open book non profit making, keeping the keeper happy gig.) Offer open to young guns, old guns, young guns, lady guns, new guns. Support on mini drives, help with the pens, feed the bins, pest control in the summer, keep the piece and the sport respectable. Licence and insurance a must. And prefer local chaps only Wirral, Cheshire, Merseyside, North Wales. I will make this clear, if I get sniff of anyone out for themselves or to make money they will not be entertained... my biggest announce of what it meant to be a gentlemen sport is being shafted by syndicate owners who disappear with your money, last minute directions to land and having to leave quickly because the owner arrives... PM me if you want to have a chat, meet for a drink, see the pics and discuss the numbers. This is a totally genuine offer from someone who just wants to shoot. Matt.
