hunters_return Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Hi guys, I need little help with first introduction. What do you say when you approach someone for shooting permission? I always get really nervous when asking for permission,I am not afraid of rejection but a knock back is one less chance of getting any shooting.

CZ550Kevlar Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Always a tough one, and discussed at great length in various other posts. Key Points are, look half decent and make the effort with not wearing stuff covered in mud, also do your homework saying you have spotted millions of pigeons on a certain crop or rabbits staging a coup, you know stuff like that, also sell yourself, if you have the ability to shoot weekdays tell him that, if you have rifles and shotguns that is good too also if you have an open firearms cert is a big bonus for farmers. lastly if he says no or hesitates ask him for just 1 or 2 fields to prove yourself on and be patient. I started out like that and now have plenty of land to shoot on, i`m lucky that i have never been knocked back for land and always have permissions renewed, just be confident.

AlistairB Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 I agree with CZ550, but when i get a knock back, i always leave them with a business card (free from vistaprint) just in case they have a problem and they're regular guys dont turn up!
