CZ550Kevlar Posted February 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Christ Kevlar another permission? Why is it they fall in our lap and I am travelling down every little lane and dirt track I go past with nothing but; "no," "no I have shooters', "Sorry no" and the occassional "no thanks" I`m pretty sure everyone on this forum will back me up and say it isn`t always ever about NEEDING shooters on their land it`s pretty much all about reputation and references, especially due to pretty much every farm has shooters already, you just need that first permission of a reasonable size then work on it for a little while then start seeing surrounding farmers, if you are doing a good job ask your landowner for a reference and then when you see the next farmer the first words out of your mouth are " Hello my name is .......... i shoot for ............ on his land and HE gave me your name and suggested i see you. i have never been turned down for permission this way, the only close thing to a no was a farmer who says he doesn`t have a pigeon problem but he had no problems with my shot falling onto his land and no problems with me using his fields to put banger ropes out. I know it`s probably no consolation but you just need that one. Where about in the country are you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just so surprised at just how popular our sport is. I'm not far from you mate down in Walderslade, Medway. I will definitely keep trying as a sales rep I am on the road every day driving in 4 counties so I am speaking to farmers at least 2-3 times a week.
