bakerboy Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 I have just put together a group of 6 experienced shooters, with a few more experienced guests to help, in the North Herts area. My aim is to be able to give an introduction to Pigeon shooting and decoying, and Rabbit shooting, both with shotguns and air rifles, to novice/ beginners, maximum 4 at any one time, guns will be available on loan,but anyone using their own gun must have a recognised insurance cover. The intro will last about 3 hours ,weekdays and weekends and you will be able to attend more than 1 session, the cost has not been finalised as yet, the thought is £25.00 but I will take advice from any readers of this topic. The intention is all monies raised will go back into the shoot to provide for more decoys,more guns and ultimately more opportunities for novice shooters. I am away on holiday for 2 weeks as of today 2nd June and will look forward to reading your comments. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry I went decoying with Terry last Sunday, lovely bloke, and nice ground with plenty of birds about (shame i shot like a t**t). This is a great opportunity for newbies or kids to have a go in a safe environment. AB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosd Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 What a great idea, my guess is you'll get loads off newbies taking up the offer if you can price it at the figures you are quoting. Good luck with it mate!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudpatten Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 A great idea. From personal experience, and you`ve probably done this already, but make sure you have a comprehensive written risk assessment and are familiar with the legal requirements i.e. CRB checks, if intending to work with young or vulnerable people. BASC can give some good advice on the whole subject. Don`t be tempted to skimp on this since it has the potential to come back and bite you on the bum. Good luck and I hope it succeeds.

humperdingle Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Sounds like a great idea as long as it's done to recognised standards. Excellent way to get a few pennies for equipment, and affordable enough that plenty of people will be interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djrwood Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 I would definately be interested in this. Do a bit of pigeon shooting but could do with someone showing me the ropes when it comes to decoying and recon works. Cheers Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
