mattyuk28122 Posted August 13, 2016 Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 Hi I have recently been granted my shotgun licence and am looking for an experienced person to take me out shooting. I would be grateful if somebody could do this to ensure that I am doing things correctly and to help me gain some experience. I would rather learnt he correct way form somebody who has experience in shooting and be able to shared their experience and knowledge with me. I live in Bournemouth Dorset but am willing to travel. If you could help please pm me. Many thanks in anticipation Matt Hartwell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieT Posted August 13, 2016 Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 Have you tried one of the many clay clubs in Dorset and the surrounding area. I'm sure several will also offer tuition. A quick Google search showed several in your area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontastic Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Get out beating, the first time I shot live quarry was on a beaters day. As I had only previously shot clays an experienced gun mentored me for the day. Gave me loads of valuable pointers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalahari Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 Put an advert on here. "Beater available within x miles of Bournemouth own transport" or something like that and you might well find takers, also offering to help a local 'keeper might get you involved. David.

toontastic Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 Thanks fir all your advice and help Any idea how you find details of local keepers Matt 😀 Try looking in local gun shops, I got into beating through a postcard I saw in my local shop asking for beaters, or even try putting up your own postcard letting people know you are available for work. Try networking at your local clay grounds or make use of social media/Internet perhaps even post on here that you are available for beating in your local area. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
