londonshooter Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Hello, I've been shooting clays for some time now and I'm interested in trying some hunting with the shotgun. (12g O/U) I'm sure it would be very hard to get permissions with no experience hunting with the shotgun. I've seen there are a few clubs/associations that can be joined that give access to Land seemingly immediately. There is the NPPC www.nppc.co.uk but this seems to be more based up North (I'm in London). The only thing similar to this I have found down south is the Wildfowling clubs such as Kent Wildfowlers www.kentwildfowlers.co.uk . Is it true that you can just join the Wildfowling clubs and immediately get access to their shooting land? It seems almost too easy? They say they have rough shooting land for other game like Pigeon/ rabbits etc. And finally are there any other suggestions for a way to get some experience out of the gate? I don't mind paying something reasonable to shoot or join etc. Any help much appreciated. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 There are plenty of people offer paid pigeon shooting , there are even a few on here that offer days free now and again. Yes you could join a wildfolwling club such as kent , not sure how they operate but I doubt you will be left to your own divices for the first few flights at least . Wildfowling is not a sport for everyone and certainly not a sport to choose if you are wanting to shoot big bags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londonshooter Posted May 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Thanks, where do I find the people that offer paid pigeon shooting? Kent Wildfowlers seem to say they have rough shooting land for pigeons/rabbits: http://www.kentwildfowlers.co.uk/homeframeintro.html Best, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

londonshooter Posted May 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 thanks I will check them out. Are the wildfowling clubs a good way to go? Lots of them seem to have rough shooting land also and it seems to be good value? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 I am in a couple of wildfowling clubs , I have no idea how Kent work , the rough shooting may be extra , best thing you could do is ask them . By joining a club you will get to meet and hopefully make friends with some of the existing members that in itself may lead to the odd invitation to other forms of shooting.

bakerboy Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Where in London are you? Can you get out mid-week? Drop me a pm, I may be able to get you into a field for a taster session at Pigeon Shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Heron Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Has I have found there are more crooks in the shooting game than the second hand car game look up Thames valley pigeons he has a good reputation as a rule of thumb recommendation counts.

Browning725:) Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 Top of cherry orchard there's allways woodys but best place is defiantly out barling/wakering. One of the shoots we go to has a lovely flight path that flys directly over a dark secluded corner of a field perfect haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
