dcliff Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 Hi, Although I love shooting on my own, sometimes it's better when you can share and chat about it too. Most of my close mates are simply not interested in the sport. My family is not what you'd call 'sporting' and I simply don't raise the topic with work colleagues! Last week I was decoying on some gone-brown peas. I shot about 30 in 3 hours, just with a simple plastic decoy pattern. I pulled off some brilliant shots (according to me, anyway), the stories of which bored the life out of my wife! So, who can save my wife!? My main discipline is pigeon decoying. I have a good patch of land just outside of York which produces very well at the right times of year. I keep meaning to expand this to neighboring farms but this hasn't happened yet. The stomach-twisting sting of rejection as a youngster has put me off door knocking... If you have some existing permission and find yourself in the same boat as me then please send me a message. A bit about me... I've spent the past few years building my design company from scratch, which is the best and worst of times! I'm 33 and held my certificate since 15. I have a shotgun and FAC Daystate air rifle (which is brilliant). And I can probably identify every british bird by silhouette alone! Anyway, let me know and we'll grab a pint. David.

Spud dog Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 Fantastic, would be great if I could, a bit too far to travel from Lancaster for me though. Great offer, someone will snap your hand off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bear-uk Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Would be nice to meet you, but don't get to shoot many pigeons as I don't have a shotgun. Not far away though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil3728 Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 I've just gotten into shooting, Hopefully picking up my first gun over the weekend. I live outside York but Work in Acomb. Had a few other offers to go out and shoot, should really start to ring around and meet some like minded people. Like you no one I know likes shooting.
