TomBettle Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 (edited) Hello all I've been floating in the wings over the last few months whilst I gain my own water wings (so to speak). The last year I've been providing basic vermin control with a BSA S10 in 12ft lb over my local paddocks and manor house grounds. Considering I am pretty much a beginner, my regular shooting partner and I have done fairly well. More recently we have just aquired a smallish, but very pretty and shootable 9 hole golf course and also shoot over a small holding nearby too. All of these permissions are in the Poole, Blandford, Dorchester triangle. During the last year a good friend, who is often on here has invited me out with him several times to get used to shooting a small caliber fire arm (his .17HMR and also a .22) and also his 12 gauge. Been throughly enjoying getting back in to the sport after a long time away (used to hunt with air rifles some 10 or 12 years ago) and have finally got round to putting in my firearms and shotgun applications. The permissions also need clearing so I am still a few weeks away, but I thought I'd put out the following invite to see if there was any interest or if this was even the done thing to do... Once my tickets come through and my permissions are cleared (or immediately, but just with standard 12ft lb) would anyone like to spend some time with me. The permissions are pretty small, but pleasant and enough rabbits etc to keep us busy. In exchange, I would be very grateful to join you over your permission, especially if I can learn a little from more experienced shooters along the way. I am putting in for FAC Air, .17HMR, .22 and Shotgun. After some time with smaller calibers and if I can find my own suitable permissions I will be asking for the same for people I have met to hopefully help mentor me towards using full bore for deer etc. That's a little way off though. So, anyone want to spend a bit of time somewhere different in exchange for someone joining them for the odd shoot? Anywhere within a sensible drive of DT11 post code would be fabulous. Many thanks and I hope this was the right thing to ask! Tom Edited November 7, 2011 by TomBettle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorsey Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Hey Tom - i'm sure you'll get lots of people taking you up on your offer. I imagine the mods will do it for you, but this should really be in the 'Shooting Available' section. I would offer you a trade of a day or so but my shooting is 170 miles away from Dorset! Hope your tickets come through quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenelmh Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Where's the blooming shooting available section then? :unsure: I'm kicking myself that I gave up my permission when I moved to Bournemouth! I've broken my air rifle but I have a shotgun that could be shared? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomBettle Posted November 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Please could a mod delete this thread as it is a duplicate now that I have found the right section! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
