Mason4796 Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 Hello to all I have recently been granted my SGC and open to meeting and networking with local shooters in the Tadcaster/ York area! I shoot clays up in knaresborough but hoping for some advise on getting in to pigeon shooting in the local area? Look forward to batting with you all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 Welcome and it's best to get to know people first and get competent on the clays before trying yourself on live pigeons. Only advice is go door knocking on your area when you get some land to shoot over you'll have more chance of people willing to help you. Many have been cheated out of there permissions by people they have taken out to help them with a days shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have loads of surrounding land nearby but wasn't sure if the door to door approach may annoy the local land owners or not but I could always give it a try!

A huge amount of farms around me, just feel a bit cheeky knocking on doors as they probably get pounded by people doing the same.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
