COOK13 Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Basically I used to beat for years when I was younger and ended up getting my shotgun certificate and a gun and really enjoyed game shooting. But due to work commitments I could no longer keep up the sport. Now I'm in a situation where I can start to shoot again which is excellent news the only problem being I have a shotgun and an air rifle with NOWHERE to shoot :( I've lost all my contacts from who I used to shoot with and I have no idea how I can get back into the sport.. I'm not a fan of clay pigeon shooting so want somewhere to shoot pigeons rabbits etc can anybody help me out and give me an idea of how I can get back into it ? Thanks very much in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tharsus Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 welcome to the site, your options are chapping on doors or looking for some beating in return for a spot of vermin shooting. Keep a eye out on the site for local syndicates looking for guns too, that's how I found my shooting. atb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Welcome to the forum. You don't like clays but Times in gun club at Dalton ale Dale has plenty of lads who shoot pigeons, might worth going and getting to know them. Trouble with the South Durham area is too many long dog men, hare and deer coursing over the land and farmers don't like letting people on they don't know.
