rixy 35 Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Good morning all Im sure this sort of post has been on a thousand times before but here goes I'm desperate to get into more pigeon shooting , having mainly rough shot around my house i had a day over decoy's with a work colleague and it was the most fun you can have wearing camo. I'd really like to get into it more , have some gear already and am a BASC member but would like to be guided slighty in the jedi ways of decoying and shooting over them. am on the cheshire /staffs border not a great crop growing area but can easily travel. this is sounding like a dodgy personals add so i'll leave it at that and hope that some kind soul takes pitty on me and can help. am happy to buy into syndicates if such a thing exsists cheers rixy 35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Richo Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Hi and welcome to pigeon watch. Have a look at NPPC am a member and am sure there is some land near you it's good value for money if you got nowhere to shoot. Other than that get up and get knocking on some doors that's all I can say am new to the sport myself and you will soon learn that you need to be independent NPPC is a good start for you while you are waiting to secure your own permission but nobody is really going to put themselves out for you regarding permission get off your **** and getting knocking and don't give up if you get a few knockbacks just keep trying am a pain when I want something I generally don't stop until I get it. Only been shooting a few months but got two places near me already through being a pain in the **** and going round every farm knocking. Just keep trying someone will say yes eventually. Good luck pal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scimitar Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Good tip is to get out and do some beating, I beat at a few places and get out on the pigeons several times a year courtesy of the keepers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good attitude to have, hopefully someone will do a deal with you and swap some pigeon shooting in return for a bit graft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ybird98 Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 I'm in exactly the same boat as Rixy in approx the same area. Thinking of joining NPPC but trying to secure some local land or some invites to a shoot etc. Did you join NPPC Rixy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
