bazofboro Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Hi Guys Newbie wanting to shoot in the Teesside/ Middlesbrough area Baz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 (edited) You want to shoot what? Deer? Pigeons? Crows? Unicorns? With what? Air rifle? Shotgun? .50 cal? Are you going to get the insurance after you get the land? Have you really thought this through? Edited February 19, 2011 by MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexr Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Come on, He's a newbie, give him a brake. Baz start by sorting out your insurance, then work out what you want to shoot. It might be worth starting by finding a local club to join. See where you go from there. Oh the previous question, The BASC membership includes your insurance.

bazofboro Posted February 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Thanks Alex for the constructive criticism. For the sarcastic, I want to shoot rats, rabbit, squirrell, pigeon and crows (I am yet to spot any unicorns in Teesside !!!) I am relatively new to shooting having plinked on allotments as a teenager over 20 yrs ago. I have got my groupings to about half an inch over 30 yds shooting at targets I have a BSA Lightning .177 and i will be joining BASC for insurance cover. Once insurance is in place i will be out next weekend asking landowners for permission(s) if im lucky Regards Baz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HW682 Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Just a thought...if you had said all that in your first post (and put it in the right section) you might have got a better response Happy Hunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durham-laddie Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Baz, don't worry, not everyone is like that. Good luck with the land hunt. Have a look at NPPC, pigeon shooting. There is land near you if you joined Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxnet22 Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 try getting a few cards made up with your details on and visiting some farms and politely leave your card with your insurance details on it etc.best of luck mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckyshot Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Baz, don't worry, not everyone is like that. Good luck with the land hunt. Have a look at NPPC, pigeon shooting. There is land near you if you joined Hes looking for land to use his air rifle on. Don't think NPPC would be of any use to him but keep looking something always turns up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
