Moving to Harrogate


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Just been informed I'm moving to Harrogate in Aug/ Sept.

 

Hoping to get back into shooting as I've had a dry spell for a couple of years.

Is there much rough shooting available? Got shotgun and hopefully Sect 1 will follow after a couple of months (.22rf & .223/.243 to follow)

May consider a syndicate if it comes with permission

hi pal, im just down the road in Ripon. Plenty of decoying or variable quality around Harrogate. A lot of it is managed for pheasant shooting though so you have to get in with the keepers. Allot of the land is overshot. Depends how far your willing to travel, but if you get into the dales with permission you can have rabbit shooting heaven.

Very good firearms dept generally speeking so long as you have need, nice approachable farmers so long as you are not a have-a-go-chav. On my permissions, not so much of a rabbit problem but if you go over towards nidd or brearton there are a few about. Just have to start nocking on doors and dropping your name around pubs and such.

Don't worry bear! Your safe i don't shoot around there, just what ive seen from driving about and looking longingly out of the windows of my mates houses. Me and my shooting buddys perms have dried up on account of people poaching on them. Sad that guns have not been out in three months.

Hmm my mate has shooting all up that area right near kirby to dalaghill, we go out occaisionally and do ferreting up that but we often find there is nothing to shoot because the keepers shoot it all. No foxes, very few rabbits just a few modest warrens, and some crow flight lines but thats about it.
