iamspartacus Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 I didn't really know where to put this question, but do any of you know of a national pigeon shooting association that actually is national and not just for those northerners? Or is there a publication that caters specifically for pigeon-shooters? I think that the growing numbers using this site, other sites, specific decoy equipment centres etc indicates that if there aren't either of these things, there definitely should be. I know that the basc is one way of safeguarding our sport but we all know they don't always get it right, and surely there should be some national body to represent us more specifically?? Maybe I've not searched in the right places but I can't find anything along these lines (obviously aside from the nppc which does a slightly different job I think). Any thoughts?

MC Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 IAM, There is a club in essex that has land all over but I applied about a year ago and haven't heard a thing since. I think the NPPC has land but it is all up north, Cheers Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamspartacus Posted April 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 ok cheers martin, I wasn't really wondering where to get permissions from but more if anyone knew if there was a national association or anything like that. Would be good if there was a recognised organisation devoted entirely to pigeon shooting. IAS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 To my knowledge there isn't a national club that represents the sport/job of pigeon shooting, unless you count BASC, NGO, CA, NFU, etc. There are a number of local pigeon shooting/sporting clubs around the country, whose members have access to land to shoot over, but these tend to be less than 100 member groups. The NPPC is by far the largest and I don't know of any others that even come close, its a pity their land is all in the North. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Maybe they should change their name to 'Northern Pigeon & Pest Control' then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurcherboy Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 If you are a member of the BASC they can give you contacts local to you. LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead-Eyed Duck Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Who can blame most pigeons for wanting to fly in the glorious north of England? Further north in Scottiland its too bloody cold and wet. Further south and its all flat and boring. Whereas where wot we are it's the best of all worlds.
