Walk / Stand Syndicate Places available, Pickering North Yorkshire - W


Recommended Posts

2 Full or 4 half guns available for safe guns (with dogs) for long established (shoot captain in his 52nd year in the role!) walk/stand syndicate shooting north west of Pickering (North Yorkshire).
Wednesday shoot... 2000 birds down, 14 or so Wednesdays (every Wednesday from about 1st November plus maybe a couple of Saturdays if numbers permit (birds remaining and guns wanting to take part)) generally with an extra 'final' day in the last week.
Half guns shoot (about) every other week - tweaked a bit to ensure that they get to shoot all the drives.
This is a DIY shoot, members expected to put effort in from February through to November preparing pens, checking feeders, releasing birds, watching them grow etc.. Does mean that you are in no doubt that birds are put down – and that you ‘nominally’ know your way around the shoot when the season actually commences (and can therefore guide the guns who have 10 years + in the shoot but still no clue!) Workdays about 1 Wednesday a month.
Costs About £770 for half gun, £1350 for full gun. BASC insurance included. Currently about 8 full guns and 12(?) or so half guns
Bags in the 60-80 average - but several should break the 100 barrier- particularly in late season.
Long established shoot, bossfella has been in charge for more than 50 years! (and I am advertising for him so address questions to me by PM in first place) 16 guns per day, 8 per team. typically 6 drives per day, hot pies after 2nd drive (at a fiver contribution to costs - but this also pays for end of season shoot meal) - shoot through then go to local pub for slap up dinner for about a tenner - guaranteed to include chips!
Walk/Stand format, and everyone gets involve with shoot running - average about one workday per month (which are actually quite fun!) and some feed distribution during the season. Shoot has trailer to transport people around rather than a convoy of vehicles. Oh, and we have a couple of clay pigeon days at local 'sporting grounds' one in May, one in September pub after!

PM for full details.
