Catamong Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 I run a small, friendly Rough Shooting syndicate on arable farmland near St Albans, Herts, totalling nearly 300 acres, and have informal “driven” Pheasant / Partridge days on about 5 - 6 Saturday mornings from late October through to January, plus shoots on Boxing Day and New Year’s Day. We currently have 6 guns but are looking to recruit a couple of new members for our season commencing 1st October. Annual membership includes opportunities for Pigeon / Vermin shooting throughout the year. We are looking for safe, insured, guns who ideally will have a trained gundog. Preference will be given to those who live locally and are prepared to assist now and again in topping up feeders & controlling vermin, as we don’t employ a full time keeper in order to keep costs down . We would also welcome potential pickers up and beaters who are available on Saturday mornings, no payment offered, but opportunities for Pigeon / Vermin shooting will be given in return. Please PM me if interested and tell me a bit about yourself and what experience you have on a Rough Shoot…? Cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow I think you will be very busy with PM's. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redm0002 Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Cat I am writing to express my interest in the beating, picking up, feeder filling and vermin control mentioned in your June 2014 post. I know the post was firstly to attract syndicate members but I am sure the other issues are likely to remain over time. I currently help out at the Redbournbury Sporting Clays and Fisheries ground between Redbourn and St Albans (Owner John Dunckley). I have been sporting clay shooting since August last year and more recently have been shooting Skeet at Cupid Green Lane. I have a Section 2 Shotgun Licence and shoot a Browning B725 12g Sporter and a sub 12ft/lbs PCP air rifle. I am a member of BASC. I retired after 40 years with the National Blood Service last July and now my time is mostly my own. I am married with two grown up children. I live in Hemel Hempstead and have a clean driving licence. I note from your post that you do not employ a permanent keeper, so from that point of view I would be happy to volunteer my time to help service your shoot re: the feeder filling and vermin control, also beating and picking up during your shooting season. If I can be of any help to you then please let me know. Regards Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catamong Posted April 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Please note that I posted this request for new guns nearly a year ago, both places are now filled and I have a waiting list, so I'm not looking to take on anybody else for the 2015 / 2016 season.
