truckboy1 Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Evening all, The Okehampton Woodcock Shoot has spaces available for the coming season, Shooting commences in the middle of November and we have 12 days available (Shooting Wednesdays) The shooting is mostly Woodcock driven from forestry commission plantations with occasional driven Snipe , We operate a beat one stand one day, the beating can be rough going and you will probably bleed!!!;-) Last season the total bag return was 72 Woodcock 8 Snipe 2 Pheasants 11 Pigeons and 1 Magpie We do not guarantee shooting (as its a totally wild quarry) but do our best to have a good day out if you are looking to fire a box of shells a day this probably isn't for you!!!! We start the day with an optional all you can eat breakfast at the local golf club (£7.00) then onto the shooting grounds, we split the guns into 2 teams and take it in turn to shoot. So if you would like to have a day out with the gun with like minded folk with plenty of banter and the chance to bag a Woodcock the prices are below If you just fancy a taster day we charge £60 per gun If you would like to join the club for the season the price is £180 per gun (12days) All guns must be insured!!!! The club is not run commercially so we do not look to make a profit but only charge to cover the cost of the rents hence the ridiculously low price ( oh and the fact you may not get a shot) If you are interested please feel free to PM me ATB Truckboy (Dale) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver pigeon 3 Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 That's a great deal truckboy and if I wasn't' already committed to other things I would jump at the chance to join!! Would there be a couple of places available for just booking a day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimfire4969 Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Sounds like a great deal. I am right in guessing the shoot is close to Oakhampton? My only problem is I have other days booked and i am a syndicate member down this way. So if you would have me as a member some days I could not make, would this cause prolems with the organising side of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truckboy1 Posted May 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Evening gents, Silver pigeon 3, you would be more than welcome to book some taster days and to show what sort of club we are if you come and have a day and then decide you would like to join we would only need an extra £120 (take you to the £180 membership rate) also if you take 3 days @ £60 per day you will have covered your membership and would be welcome for the rest of the season Without additional charge!!! Rim fire 4969, as we are a club and shoot Wednesdays team numbers vary weekly, I myself can't make every week but plan to make 6-7 days a season, as above if you wanted to pay per day once you had paid £180 in total you would be welcome for the rest of the season without charge.

Aled Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Truckboy sounds like a great offer, although a bit far from me. I am however very interested in the club side of things in relation to how you set things up with the Forestry Commission. etc PM on the way me thinks.

IanF Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Thoroughly recommend this shoot - been down for the past two seasons and will be there this year as well. Wild birds, no put & take, no keeping or feeding - just a regular cry of 'Wood Cock' and the opportunity for a snap shot as the bird jinks through the woods. The other guns are all keen shooters who make visiting guns really welcome. Day starts with a huge breakfast - then the work starts! Walk one, stand one. Some steep ground, lots of thick cover. Thorn proof leggings are ideal. Be prepared to bleed a bit! Day finishes with the remaining guns positioned out on the rides, with the opportunity for a roding 'Cock as the light fades. Rough shooting as it should be, and at a price that makes the journey well worth-while. Give Truckboy a PM and see you there! :0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicky T Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 I completely agree with IanF; this is a cracking shoot and you will struggle to find anywhere near the value of joining the syndicate. As time is at a bit of a premium this year i'll be booking just the one day and looking forward to seeing Dale and the guys again. All the best!

Spaniel Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Thank you Dale for a great day today And the bonus for me after a couple of shots at the woodcock was that I shot my first one so well pleased. Thanks to all the club members for a great day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie10 Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Thanks again Dale and the Okehampton woodcock club for a great day. Great fun and the night flight was definately a first time experience for me. Will definately be down again. Wasn't my time for a woodcock but that didn't put a dampener on the day. Well worth the long trip down there. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
