harrycatcat1 Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 I am sorry if this subject has been covered before or in the wrong section but how far do folks travel to go shooting on a regular basis. I don't mean odd trips up to Scotland or down to Devon. I travel about 30 minutes to a pheasant syndicate I am in but only about 15 to 20 minutes to rough shooting vermin etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr lee Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 My closest are 1 mile and 3 miles away. My furthest one is 80 miles away but offers excellent shooting. The farm is owned by very good friends and we often stay over for a full weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPT1 Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 London to Nr Lowestoft London to Nr Oswestry. I don't even have a guaranteed permission at either destination but have a base at each. I do a little pest control on the building site I manage but of course after six months there is very little that comes within 100yards now. Why do you ask, is it some kind of survey? I don't suppose theres going to be offers of sharing a permission is there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
