Flashgun Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 hiya, i run a small shoot there are 10 guns in the shoot, we have 6 days shooting averaging 80 bird days its stand only shooting, every year we have people moaning about price its only £375 and £20 pound on the day for beaters. what would you say is a reasonable amount to pay. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotslad Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Tell them to look at the price off a day's shooting on the open market, they should appreciate how good a value it is after that. Do the guns share out the work/feeding/looking birds through the year? Depending how u run the shoot, cost for gun's can't really change as the price has to cover the overheads off birds/rent/feed etc. Really impossible for a stranger to say wot is a fair price as no idea of ur overheads, but i think that is very very cheap shooting If my quick sum i done in my head is right thats roughly £80 (well slighlty under) + £20 beaters, u wont get much for £100 shooting driven pheasants, realistcally an 80-100 bird day (@£30 quid a bird) would be around £240-300 per day possibly plus Vat and keepers tip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashgun Posted May 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 thanks for that , they dont get involved in any feeding they just turn up on the day, keepers tip ? whats that. im the keeper and never see a tip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordieh Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Hi Flashgun Is that £375 per day or £375 for a 6 day season.If it is £375 for the season put me down for a gun please it would be worth travelling for that Geordie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pontbeck Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 That's great value, £ 500 for 6 days shooting, never mind 80 bird days. They don't know how lucky they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotslad Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 I run a wee diy syndicate and are a wee bit cheaper on price but only shoot about 120ish pheasants all season, and our guns are meant to help at work parties and feeding. Ur guns don't know there born. I know good walk 1 stand shoots charging twice that and not averageing 80bird days. Gun;s should be biting ur hands off for that, if they have the cheek to moan after doing ****** all tell thm where to go. Always the folk that do the least moan the most. Sorry rant over, wish i was closer would also join Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misser Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 if they dont like it they know what they can do - cheap shooting no question about it - at that price you would have no end to potential members and to not lend a hand is the icing on the cake - dont know theyre born - rip it up, start again and increase the price a bit and youd still fill all spaces - put me name down!! problem is the 5 hr drive each way - atb - regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
