artschool Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 i was was thinking of taking my wife out for a days game shooting, I have been beating previously and noticed that sometimes pairs of people go to a stand and one loads whilst the other shoots then on the next drive they swap over. is this normal? or is it not something you only see on smaller syndicate shoots? also any suggestions for small shoots in the northwest would be welcome. I have looked on guns on pegs but they are all wanting 500 per day. am not interested in large bag days just a nice day out with the missus.

I can't see anyone objecting if they let blokes share a day, but I've never seen a husband and wife share a peg ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayano3 Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Another suggestion....send her shopping with a few quid and you shoot, why soil a good day out <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustJon Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Whether done or not I think it's a great idea and if I was on the next peg I'd come for a chat afterwards as it'd be eye-catching! The sport doesn't need to be so male dominated so introducing your wife should be smiled at, not frowned upon because of some non-existent rule book. That said - make sure she looks the part.

PhilR Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 I've shared my peg with my wife a couple of times on bought days, the shoot captain's proviso was that we wouldn't both be shooting at the same time. The idea was that she'd try driven shooting first without the expense of buying a full day of her own and then not liking it. As it happened she enjoyed it and has had several days of her own, although now she sticks to clays only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colster Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Can't see it being an issue, other half's sister went along with her chap to Shadwell. I don't think she shot but no one had an issue with her standing by him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gives some of the old goats in the beating line something to perve over as well, it's a win win situation :yp: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 If you can stand the ****-taking, go ahead. I can't see anyone objecting if they let blokes share a day, but I've never seen a husband and wife share a peg ever. I must be in a very different circle as I see it all the time with shooting couples as to invite both husband and wife to a shoot and give them a peg each would cost the host a bomb. So the couples share a peg only 1 shooting at anyone time. 3 weeks ago there where 4 couples in the line of 8 just glad my wife is not confident enough to stand on a peg yet more sport for me.
