? IS ANYONE A MEMBER OF THE PIGEON SHOOTING CLUBS?

ie the ones you see in the back of the shooting mags.

if so has anyone got any comments, as I work all week this would only leave weekends which i suspect would be busy.

If the guys who run the clubs could give a bit more info out

it would make me less wary.

waitin to here from you all.

I don,t belong to a Pigeon Club.

But, I did ring the one I think you are referring to.

When they first advertised, they were not specific about the area they covered.

As I am in Kent, I was way out of their boundaries.

 

The chap I spoke to was very helpful and chatty.

You pay a membership fee per year and then can shoot on farms where they control the pigeon shooting.

They all work much the same.

I think these people may have had a stall at the Midland Game Fair.

 

Hopefully someone will respond that has first hand experience of neing a member of a Pigeon Club.

Hello mate

In reply to your question ,me and my pal were "Invited " to join a local club who specialised in pigeon shooting and had to undergo quite a thourough interview ,obviously aimed at the safety aspect, which we both totally agreed with.

During the interview it became clear that the comittee were more interested in the land we had and went to great lengths to try and get locations etc out of us, they didn't.

We were accepted on the understanding that we hand over any land we had to the club. We declined. We couldn't see the point of paying to shoot on land we already had.

It made us wonder if they had quite as much land they said they had

Not quite the same as clubs that advertise in such as "Sporting Gun" etc but the moral must be find out as much as you can before parting with cash

                              regards sutty :P

I`ve only just seen your post.

 

I`m a member of National Pigeon and Pest Control, which has a fair bit of land in the North and Midlands of England. Cost me £125 and I think that included a one-off joining fee, but can`t remember now.

 

Run by a guy called John Shooter (I`m not making this up) on 0870 757 2246. :P
