john m Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Hello i have been on the forum for some time now and i would like to get into Pidgeon shooting i have been shooting clays for about a year. I have been talking to several people where i go clay shooting and the overwhelming impression i get is reluctance it seems to be a closed shop to newcomers. Any advice or contacts i can talk to i live in N.W Kent. thanks in advance John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscarsdad Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Mate...the site is called pigeon watch...the name is plastered all over the place - not pidgeon! Good luck finding permission though. Just a case of knocking on doors or getting out and beating during the pheasant season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cant hit rabbits 123 Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 You'll find that the best plan is to go and knock on some farmers doors asking for permssion to shoot vermin over his land. It may well prove hard to find a pigeon shooter who is willing to take you shooting for all sorts of reasons. Osme can't because farmers wont allow guest shooters so to speak, others may not be willing to take someone low on experience, and some just dont want to for reasons of thier own. Pigeon shooting is easy enough to get into, but often you have to find your own way. After you have some permission, you could maybe swap a day out over yours for a shoot on someone elses so that you have some variety.

sitsinhedges Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 The problem with taking somebody out is that often they will try and get on your permission themselves which is really taking the **** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
