starlight32 Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 With all these posts appearing on this section regarding permissions and shooting opportunities I just thought I would drop a line in what I am looking for. Please feel free to express your views on whether my expectations are reasonable. I would like to extend my shooting further with any options you might have, and join any of you for shooting in any discipline at your expense but at my convenience on your land. I would be grateful if you would supply all ammunition (I shoot well with Bismuth). It would be appreciated if we are decoying if you would set me up with all your gear so I can just shoot. Supply a dog to retrieve all birds. Arrange lunch -nothing fancy (pub will do) Let me use your gun if I think it suits me or I just like it. I will of course need suitable accomodation if I am travelling any distance, so a hotel should suffice Min 3 *** As I do-not want to appear too up front as it would be extremely rude and improper, I am quite prepared to meet any fuel costs in coming to see you up to the first 20 miles, after that it will be charged at a flat business rate of 40 pence per mile. Before you make a rush to contact me, I would like to make it quite clear I am a British subject and you will all probably agree it is a breath of fresh air to find someone who is not one of those gimme, gimme immigrant types. P.S If you should wish to contact me personally, PM me and I will give you my number so you can call. Regards starlight32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pavman Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 The man has a fair point, If I understand his humour Posts are getting made requesting shooting and or assistance getting started, Browning makes a very kind offer and request a little help in return, and is not exactly inundated with takers, Some folk even make it there first post, hi newbie hear can i get some shooting! Most of us have taken years to establish relationships, helped out as beaters, picking up, helping keepers feeding birds, joined clubs etc. Shooting is not just about getting a 100 bird day on someones permission. you get out what you put in, the guys who have these results have most likely worked very hard over the years to obtain such pleasing results, why then would they invite new comers to enjoy the fruits of their hard work? What ever happend to can I offer to help out, and make new friends, and that may lead to offers for joining on a shoot Or is it me just thinking selfish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 This has always been the problem with this section, mainly because people don't read the heading properly. We have now decided that any posts made asking for shooting permission, will be deleted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards starlight32 I'll take you out Starlight 32 and put you up or do I mean knock you out and lock you up. Village idiot comes to mind on this one Still boys will be boys or children Now, now farmer no need to get serious. If you wish to embark on a one man crusade in support of all shooters in this world with no land then best of luck. Personally in my adulthood I don't need to ask for shooting. When I have helped people they have thrown it back in my face anyway-so as far as I am concerned anyone daft enough to ask on an open forum for shooting are more stupid than they think.

starlight32 Posted September 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Well I can only say thank you for the kind offers of shooting but due to unprecedented demand I am now being selective from the 'A' list who I am willing to accompany- please no offence to run of the mill PW members. Vintage cognac, sleek cars, beautiful women it really has been a stressful last few weeks. Only just had another page 3 celeb hassle me for a driven day in October. Well she's got no chance, cos I had a gutfull of Jordan last week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
