bishbash89 Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Hi there, just thought I'd introduce myself to the forum members. Everyone calls me Bish/Bishop and I'm from Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria. I currently shoot air rifle at Furness Marksmen club. Looking to get my FAC & SGC in the near future once I manage to get some permissions. Struggling to find land to shoot on despite knocking on plenty of doors so not really had much chance to get into the hunting side of things yet. Hope to learn a lot from the pro's on here! Any advice would be appreciated. Any local wildfowlers (FWA members) that fancy showing me the ropes would be more than welcome too! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southern Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Hi Bish We spend a lot of time up near Millom but have only ever shot at Rookin House near Ullswater. Are there any good clay grounds in your neck of the woods? We're heading up in October and will bring the guns if there are Hels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I heard of someone using the quarry they got prosecuted for armed trespass or something so I steer clear of that but I've been up near Birkrigg a few times. What do you shoot these days? I'm only on an air rifle atm but looking to get a shotgun soon. If you're ever in the area mate give us a shout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
