shoot and be safe Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Thats £40 a bird, tiss a tad expensive for a small shoot. £40/bird would seam expensive, but the shoot probably have the same expenses running a small day as they will have running a large day.Based on this I would expect to pay more per bird on a smaller day than a larger day. Op. Make sure you are aware of all the costs before you book a shoot, ask if there is overage and what the cost is if there is and get it in writing or email. Ask your shooting pals if they would like to join you, it's always good to have someone to accompany you for moral support and banter when you miss Above all enjoy the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My main worry about having a 30 bird day with guns I don't know is to make sure everyone picks the birds they shoot and does not shoot the lot in one or two drives. I think we all know someone who would shoot their lot and carry on regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
