evo Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 you have posted in the correct section, what you could do is dress yourself up smart (shirt and tie) and get out knocking on some farmers doors and ask them, what type of shooting are you looking for ? it would help people on here ,, also I know its a bit late now, but get yourself down to a local shoot and offer your services as a beater, you will be amazed how many opportunities arize from doing that, I have gained 3 new permissions this year from beating 3 days a week through the season and getting to know people, most important is be very polite and don't forget to thank them for taking the time to listen to you and if any shooting is available in the future then to give you a call, don't lose heart if you try hard enough it will come in the end, good luck Evo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTS Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Il tell you why, these threads always end the same. With person after person coming in telling them they have no chance of getting given a perm having been here 5 mins and contributed nothing and gained no trust. They get told the same thing - to get out knocking on doors Why not read through the last god knows how many wanted threads and see the exact same text time and time again Tbh I think the wanted section is useless and a waste of space. I learned this by posting like this myself. Best thing is as above get out and ask face to face and offer your services in return maybe something other than shooting for example if your a plumber etc By all means keep your eye on the opportunities offered threads for something nearby but a good post count and showing your someone who can be trusted will still be a must. The way I had it explained to me is would you let a strange person you don't know wander around your land with a dangerous and loaded firearm?

teamratman Posted February 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Thanks for the advice above, I am already in a pheasant/ rough shoot but was just testing the water to see if there were any groups closer to home that organised pigeon shooting, vermin control that I could jion in with. After a busey pheasant season I will now get a chance to chap some doors to see if I can get some doo shooting etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
