EMcC Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 (edited) When people pay for pigeon shooting do they keep the pigeons shot or are they kept by the agent? If you are allowed to keep them, then £80 a day isn't bad as pigeons are fetching 25p each at the moment so for 109 you'd get some of your money back. Or if the agent keeps them, does he supply the cartridges for the day? Edited October 23, 2011 by EMcC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or if the agent keeps them, does he supply the cartridges for the day? To shoot 100 pigeons most people need 300+ carts =£60 so no i doubt they are supplied. If you have no shooting then surely £80 isnt much for a decent day shooting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you supply carts and fuel costs for the people you give free shooting to? If so would you mind adopting me, if this isn't an option could you just send me a few quid cos granny needs an eye operation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foggy011983 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 (edited) Don't suppose there is chance of free b&b while you are at it? Makes me laugh when people say I can get out for that price. If so great go do it but don't paste comments putting other peoples Threads in a bad light. How would you like it? You have a choice if you don't like the price don't buy don't comment. I'm sure you don't go to customer services at tesco every time you see a product you can get cheaper else where. right thats my monday winge out the way.

scimitar Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 £80 isn't a great ammount of money not once you pay your taxes and NI. Then theres your business insurance and accountants for when you submit your records to HMRC. Oh then a share to the landowner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mosa Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 (edited) I think it's a good offer. If I was to try fly fishing it would cost me £20+ and to have a go at any other sport costs money so why not. Some people haven't or can't get permission or the chance to try things like that. So well done mate to you if people don't want to come just don't comment and leave it for people that do. Ps get in touch for my guided days or nights out !

Elby Posted October 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Point is, good or bad, it's a forum and people can post their views...whatever they may be. Of course they can, it would be better if they started a topic in "off topic" maybe with a title "would you pay to shoot pigeons" They can of course post their opinions in this section and bring a thread to it's knees and also maybe getting the people offering shooting to give up and go somehwere else. They also can't complain about the responses they get, what with it being a "forum" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
