starletman Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 This may be in the wrong place i appologise.My brother is a golf course manager and has said i can come down some mornings with him shooting rabbits on the course.What i need to know is do i need anything in writing to use a shotgun on his course or just turn up.He uses an air rifle and i intend to use a 12g hushpower due to the neighbours.

gottsy boy Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 i shoot a golf course regular, get written permision and make sure your insurance is up to date, we have the use of the buggy and it is much more productive, in the summer we use .17hmr and 22lr and this time of year 22lr and 410 hushpower..

AlistairB Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 I got my permission from the head greenkeeper, i always text him to ask if it's ok first as some of his boys go out for rabbits and sometimes they work late on one course if there's a comp on the other one the next day. Just get something in writing so if you bump into golfers as they are finishing you have a perm slip as we tend to go down when the last of them are coming off.
