danielsonson Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 Hi I have just signed up in the hope that I may find a Pigeon Shooting Mentor? I have been shooting clays for 18 months and have experience shooting crows, rats, bunnies etc with a .22. I am based in surrey but dont mind a drive! I am really keen to get Pigeon shooting but only know what I have read in magazines and on the Web. I am reluctanlt to start approaching Farmers for shooting rights if I end up adding no value to them because I have no idea what I am doing. I have a couple of 12g Shotguns and my cert and I listen and learn well, is there anyone out there who would not mind sharing a hide and showing a keen youngster (well 25) the ropes? Thanks for listening everyone Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 Welcome, if you go back to your Profile, you can enter "Surrey", or "Chobham, Surrey" in your location. It will then always appear under your name on a post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian D Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 Hi Dan, try asking around at the club where you shoot clays. You never know someone may be looking for a keen beginner to carry all the heavy gear. Give it a go, you may get lucky. Regards, Ian.

danielsonson Posted June 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Good thinking! I will set to it next weekend! Thanks DB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielsonson Posted June 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 So is there no one out there who can help? Regards DB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doggone Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 So is there no one out there who can help? Regards DB Don't know what it's like around the country, but around here at the moment not much happening with pigeons, odd pockets on peas and spring rape, but not enough to try to show someone the ropes on. You'd probably never want to shoot pigeons again after sitting all day for 10 pigeons. Things will start to change when the peas are beginning to die down and the rape is swarthed. Maybe you'll get a few more takers then. Nobody wants to show anyone a poor day. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
