rimfire4969 Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 what's the quarry? A 100 bird day. Fairly sure it will be pheasant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masmiffy Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 100 bird day 10 guns (say) 6 drives = less than 2 birds each per drive Watch out for the 'extras' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashman Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 you work out your shoot like that you'll never go driven day. Perhaps if the original post provided a little more information, we wouldn't all be speculating along these lines..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimfire4969 Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 100 bird day 10 guns (say) 6 drives = less than 2 birds each per drive Watch out for the 'extras' I shoot quite a few 100 bird days, most with 8 guns but some with 10 guns. I can normally remember every bird I shoot, I like everyone else pick out the high and difficult birds you might get a 4 to 1 ratio so every drive you fire maybe 10 shots. As always it's not about the birds shot it seeing the dogs work the birds flying well and the laugh you have with the beaters and other guns.

Indeed but the things to watch are who you shoot with, you get whole teams who know each other and know they will just shoot good birds but if you buy a couple of pegs things can get acrimonious if you have any greedy guns about. Obviously you get better pegs than others so can't just say a couple of birds a drive but if the birds are there you have to really either cut the day short or pay for extras Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your lucky it`ll be a great day out,often people go home unhappy due to other guns behaviour though. Caveat emptor definitely applies.

Although big (and expensive) they are not run for commercial gain, but really for the benefit of the Guns. As such, whilst they must cover professional keepering costs, they don't turn a huge profit and any excess money is spent on the nosebag & grog. No doubt they could reduce their annual subscription by selling days or individual pegs on an ad hoc basis, but they have always refused in case it gets finger-pointy after the final drive.
