Hi, use to shoot on mottys farm in east tilbury few years ago. Anyone on here from the Thurrock area shoot on it & can you still get on on yearly ticket? Also anyone shoot on Coles land?

Hi mate, I was a member on motts land for a few years, till I moved down to kent. As far as I know you can still get a year ticket BUT it is so over shot it's not really worth it. There's loads and loads of members. One of the last times I went out, there were 6 groups of different blokes shooting !!!! That was a couple of years ago though.

 

I'm a member of a pheasant shoot on Coles land, you won't get permission to shoot on any land that belongs to cole, it's very guarded, only family members get to shoot on there or syndicate members. Best of knocking on some doors.

hi mate

I shoot on motts farm and there is a lot of shooters on there,there isn't many bunnys on there cause they have been shot or the mixy has got em

I'm sure it's a £100 a year now, might be be more now days. I haven't shot on there for a couple of years.

I used to shoot there, the place is awful to shoot at £100 a year and you maybe might bag the odd pigeon.

 

It's basically like taking a gun to a field to shoot thin air.

 

I was going to renew my membership but thought why should I - there is over 150 shooters there and I drive there 95% coming back home with nothing.

 

I wont lie, last year I did by FLUKE shoot 20 wood pigeons and on one good day I shot 4 rabbits.

 

Waking up and going in the mornings was a big waste of time - now I dont have a membership, I dont have my uncle and friend bothering me to go with them every sunday.
