steveyg Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 (edited) Hi Looking for a shoot or would be willing to help anyone with existing permission as and when required. I have no trade to offer however I work with led lighting and have some interesting solar powered solutions which might be beneficial to farmers. (there has to be an application for solar powered floodlights on a PIR sensor) I have read numerous comments about people ABUSING MEMBERS TRUST AND GOODWILL, I can assure you I am an honest and upfront shooter looking to improve on my field craft and hits to miss ratio and would not return to anyone's permission without their consent. I am Insured and have my own equipment, willing to contribute towards any costs. Any help and tips would be gratefully received. cheers Steve shots this year: 8 Pigeons: 1 Crows: 0 Rabbits: 0 :( Edited April 9, 2013 by steveyg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoke to three farmers ,all of which had their land covered by shooters already :( Whats the best way to start the conversation?? I took the crop protection route,offering a free service..is this the best way to start some dialogue? any tips would be gratefully received cheers steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swiss.tony Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 (edited) nice sales pitch steve but its hard as hell as you no to find a willing farmer the best advice i could give is get some pest control cards printed up 5 quid get a folder with your permission slips all ready filled out so all he will need to do is sign them and stick address down. then take a week off work and nail every farm in a 30 mile of your house catching them in fields is the best way i found then your not bothering them at home when there tired or you could try and get friends with people on here buy them there cartridges for a day out free that would work im sure few beers afterwards get a 4x4 and offer to drive there's lots of ways to get mates with people on here but you have to TALK TO PEOPLE that's the key mate hope you find sum thing swiss Edited April 11, 2013 by swiss.tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveyg Posted April 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Afternoon All got my PB Yesterday.... OK IT WAS ONLY 7 PIGEONS,we all have to start somewhere Was shooting over rape however not that many birds around,had 33 shots however around 10 of these were very speculative as I hadn't shot for a good while. Great day though and can't wait until my next day out. If anyone in the Worcester/Warwickshire area needs a hand give us shout,happy to cover the cost of your cartridges Cheers Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
