Dekers Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 (edited) Ok, I've been around a while, done a bit and have a few views...but... I have received an ongoing season invite to beat at a Royal site with the likelihood of the occasional Royal turning up. I accept and respect tradition, and have been advised I need to look something like the part to be allowed back, or indeed invited to shoot during the last couple of weeks of the season. I have the usual selection of chaps, cammo, hats, gloves etc but next to nothing "traditional". I need a full set, but I have no idea where to go at this time of year to get a "deal", the prices I have seen give me a heart attack, all the Fairs are pretty much done, meant to be at my first shoot tomorrow, which I have cried off, but the next is 13 Nov, ..... I need to get in at least 6 shoots to stand a chance of getting an invite to shoot myself at the end of the season! So, any idea where to get the kit...without a second mortgage!

Dekers Posted November 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 (edited) Converting to the Dark Side? Ha Ha, it's not really my thing as you know, but there are (VERY) good contacts there, and hopefully this is a route to the Red Deer in the park! But who knows, I may be converted.
