Its short notice i know but a shoot near Lincoln needs four guns for this Monday 9th of November, 200 birds (mixed) fully Driven Usual hospitality. £500 per gun plus tip. thats £22.50 per bird and that is a bargain.

Not wanting to cause any grief, but this is something that often puzzles me.

 

A 200 bird shoot may well be £22.50 a bird, but I am guessing if I only shoot two then all I come away with is two £250 birds.

 

I can beat that for free picking up roadkill (ignoring the fact you can buy a pheasant in the supermarket for less than £10)

 

Am I missing something?.

yes . It's not about making sure you shoot your money's worth in weight. It's about getting your money's worth of sport and having an enjoyable day.

If you draw pegs, it's the luck of the draw. You may be in action all day or you may miss.

 

A good shoot captain should try and spread the shooting out.

 

 

Don't even ask what happens when you get someone who is less than sporting or likes their share plus some more.

 

Let days are ideal for the people who cannot afford the the time being in a diy syndicate.

 

Unfortunately you also get people who enjoy the cost of syndicate shooting and can make every shoot day but funnily, they need to work on shoot work days. That is even worse......

On a 200 bird day you will get lots of shooting, and if you manage to shoot 4:1 then you will fire about 100 shots on some really good drives you might shoot 8:1. It's all about the day which I love to be part of either shooting or beating.
