rubythedog Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 hi pal, iv never been to no school/club to learn pigeon shooting so cant anser your question in full but i cant see it been any harm to you if your new to shooting, i think if your around seasond shooters then it will fast track a lot of work for you! but get knocking them doors for farms to shoot coz thats a sure way to learn your trade for free. and remember if ya get stuck you can always post on here! theres always a couple of good lads/lasses who will give ya a few tips n tricks. good luck with your plans and if ya new to it then enjoy!!! its a wonderfull sport.

ME Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 I haven't been to the "Learn to pigeon shoot" but I have been up a couple of times to Anglia Sporting for pigeon shooting days. The first time we had a very good day on the numbers. Nice people and nice countryside. They know their stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may not be everybodys way of doing it, but hey ho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanl50 Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 They do alot Framlingham way, One of my friends "Suffolk shooter" now banned from PW has crossed paths with Anglia sporting on a number of times on his permissions. TBH if you have no land and want to experience pigeon shooting then maybe contact "Crazyfarmer2 on PW he will sell you a days pigeon shooting if he still does it a lot cheaper and with the balance of money you have left buy a DVD on pigeon shooting from the "Fieldsports Britain" channel and with the money left after the DVD go on holiday.

marchwood Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 I went on an Anglia Sporting pigeon shooting course before Christmas, and I thought it was worthwhile. We had exactly the wrong sort of weather - absolutely no wind, mist, and very mild - and nobody on the course actually shot anything. However, it was very thorough, and a mixture of theory and practical stuff, including hide building, decoy patterns, etc., and as a bonus, the food (breakfast and lunch) was very good! I recommend it if you've not shot pigeons before or haven't done so for years, and it gives you confidence and a good idea about the kit you need and don't need.

big simmo999 Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 I reckon if you don't know anything or havn't got anybody to show, you then £150 is not a bad price to pay. At least you will shown the basics in a safe contolled way Go for it and enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdSolomons Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 If they know what they are talking about then it will save a lot of blank disappointing days in the future. If you want to learn well, as with most things it won't be cheap. Surely worth it in the long run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
