Fat bloke Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 Hi all. Ok, never been on a rough shoot before and have booked a place on one over the coming festive season. Is it considered bad sport to take a less challenging shot on this type of shoot compared to a driven day considering I'm assuming that some may lift close to the guns. Would like add that this is not a big bag day, so don't want to look a Charlie. On the other hand, may be a small bag day as the numbers aren't present! Grateful for any advise. Regards.

Scully Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 If you're paying for the day your host will/should explain all to you, and what is expected from the day and from you, including whether ground game is allowed etc. If it's a true rough (walked up) shoot then most of the birds will be going away from you, even those which get up behind you, so take something hard hitting; even quartering birds need hitting hard. How far you let them 'get away' before shooting is entirely up to you. Other than that, just enjoy yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 I would put safety before anything else. Try and ensure that whatever you are shooting at has sky all around it. Do not forget the highest compliment that you can have is an invitation to return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat bloke Posted December 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Thank you for taking the time to reply. Nervous, but truly hope to be considered a safe gun above everything else. Regards. Fatty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
