cant hit rabbits 123 Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Hi guys, I've been shooting clays for a while now and have a couple of 12g shotguns. I'm very interested in going pigeon shooting but I am on a very limited budget and my traveling distance is rather small. I'm in the loughborough/coalville area of Liecestershire, my regular clay shooting club is at wymswold. Any shooting opertunities in this area would be greatly appriciated. Many thanks.

ST3V3 Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 all I can suggest is spend some time knocking farmers doors when you see a lot of pigeons on the fields chances are a lot will turn you down but with any luck you may get 1 that says yes do you have any transport, insurance, decoys etc. where is it your from?

cant hit rabbits 123 Posted March 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 I currently have no insurance, although i am in pipe line of aquiring some with CPSA. Niether do I have any decoys, infact the only really useful kit i have is my pump action, a DPM jacket and a camo net. Transport is, at the moment, friends and family, as I haven't yet passed my driving test (also in the pipe line). I'm from whitwick, near Coalville. Not too far from Loughborough though, and i go clay shooting at wymswold. I was thinking about door knocking with local farmers but i didn't know how they would react. I was a tad worried they'd not only say no, but also complain to some higher athaurity (spelling? Most probably incorrect, my appologies) and I'd have my licence under question.

kyska Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 What do you mean complain to higher authority mate? If you have a good rapport with your club, try asking about there, there is a good chance someone will pigeon shoot and might take you out for a day as taster.
