Thelongwayup Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Anywhere between 2 miles to my nearest to 90 miles for my furthest one. Typically it's the furthest one that has most sport on it too and the friendliest farmer. Normally shoot the furthest ones with a mate who lives local so end up making a good weekend of shooting and fishing and a few evening beers.

Dorsey Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 My shooting is 170 miles away. Yes really. I suppose I ought to try and get something closer to home at some point as it'd be nice not to have to drive 3 or 4 hours to shoot at a pigeon!

unapalomablanca Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 I just keep as local as possible. I am going knocking tomorrow 2 miles from where i am as ive seen some activity. I shoot no more than 5 miles from home but as i travel for work i go past the same places and never knock for some reason, it would make sense as i could pull in and shoot at these places on the way home.

WGD Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Quite lucky, most of mine is within a 10 mile radius. But I do a few mammoth trips to shoot rabbits over the spaniels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kent Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 No limits to how far for good sporting shooting, staight forwards pesting has its limits though.

Tiger955i Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 My mates and I travel 70 miles each way. We have tried local farms but a lot either already have shooters on their land or the land is shot by a local syndicate. I have though of aproachiing some of the local golf courses though. We keep trying though ATB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
