What is the NPPC ?

i know its some sort of shooting association but what is it and is it any good for air rifle shooting???

 

If so how do you join and whats it about

[roblade]

only reference i could find to them with details was ...

 

HERE

 

(aint google great )

 

not too sure if i would be willing to part with £125 for the chance to get more shooting done, though does have an email address there so you can always contact them to find out a bit more.

 

also think someone on the forum is a member so might well be worth while doing a little search on here to see if you can find them and ask thier opinion on it.

 

hope this helps you out

Well surly the pigeon watch is making it hard for ppl like us to get land while they make a mint?

what is fair about that they get all the permission then charge the shooter a wedge load of cash to shoot there

 

well all i can say is i aint gonna pay £125 to shoot i will stick to little land i have and try to seek out new land as i go

90 quid a year isn't bad money considering you can go as many times a year as you like. even if you only went out ten times in the year, it amounts to less than a tenner per outing. Plus it takes the hassle out of getting land by approaching farmers.

Ferretmanabu - you can't go as often as you like, - you can only go when there is a crop to shoot over. We couldn't go in the late spring/early summer because no farmers planted peas, they all planted beans. We can't go now because the rape stubble has been ploughed, we have to wait until late October :<

[pigeon master]

ask for some subs back 12month membership means 12 months shooting, pigeons will still come to ploughed fields if your under a flightline.

BIG SIMMO if you are an nppc member clearly you have got 'crossthreaded' somewhere because I don't think members were stopped going out, HQ was merely indicating that things were not perfect in spring but there was nowt to stop you going out to have a scan and report back in.

 

Did you go spotting for pigeons?

 

I found a few stoggies this summer, its a bit quiet now but wait until the cold weather comes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[big simmo999]

Country Boy - I certainly did not get cross threaded - and i still made the same point when I was talking to John this afternoon

[cooky]

on the nppc site it says

 

 

When ? as often as you like (subject to certain restrictions)

 

 

surely the restrictions should be placed on the site

[Doc]

Cooky,Restrictions are obvious and they are the same that apply to fields that I shoot outside NPPC:We dont shoot when there are NO pigeons about AND when we cause more damage to the field by trying to shoot pigeons.If anybody is shooting their fields every day and there are always pigeons about thats fine!If people have unrealistic expectations about NPPC they better stay away from it!Some common sense often helps...
