robmogg Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Hello Lad’s, I’m rather new to shooting; I have had an air rifle since the age of 16 and acquired my SGC in the last few months (October 2013). I have been shooting jj’s (clays) once or twice a week since and believe my some miracle I have improved! More recently I have purchased an air arms s410 carbine and am really keen to use it in the field. I live in Bexleyheath so the only real shooting i can get is on golf courses, i have asked all within a 5 mile radius and either been turned away or given the polite ‘no’. Any tips or tricks? Cheers, Rob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunnerbob Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Much knocking on doors I'm afraid....eventually something should turn up if you are persistent, very soul destroying at times though.. welcome to pw.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKD Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Hi Rob and welcome to PW. As above, lots of door knocking to find your holy grail I'm afraid. Lots of driving out into Kent a bit too, coz there won't be much local to you as you've found with the golf courses. The Isle of Grain isn't too far and would be worth a try. Lots of farmland there with plenty of rabbits and pigeons to have a go at. Good luck atb, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FatFreddysCat Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Rob, Kent Wildfowlers have an air rifle section. Membership gives you access to several shooting locations in Kent. See you've also got SGC, you could try wildfowling too if you decided to join. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bighit1985 Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Hi Rob welcome to the forum. I'm just down the road in gravesend. If you fancy some company for clays then give me a shout and we can arrange something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See you've also got SGC, you could try wildfowling too if you decided to join. I have been hearing good thing about them and planning to join prior the start of the next duck season. Does anyone know if they are still doing the ‘have a go day’? Cheers for the heads up with the air gunning, makes it even more tempting to join sooner than later.

jfletch88 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Hi there Rob, I'm just over in Gravesend too. Trying to get an extra permission around the area at the moment. You can come along some time if I find anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
