stu_young Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 I'm thinking of looking for syndicate for next season just a walk one stand one dit shoot 20-30 bird days will do me fine just looking for a rough idea on the type of price I should be looking at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Prawn Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 Prices will vary massively depending on the terms of the shoot but I was paying £800 for ten days at a DIY syndicate this last couple of years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 Depends on the number of days etc. but would expect the subs to be around £800 to £1000 a year. 9-10yrs now since I ran a syndicate and back then the subs where £600 a year and our days where walk one stand one, averaged about 40 birds a day, with access for vermin pigeons by arrangement. In my view anything cheaper will be just that, 'CHEAP'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 Ours is a DIY stand one beat one over seven drives over six days. We pay £300 for a half gun and average around 35 birds per day. We also have the choice for roost shooting and decoying, Roe deer and predator control outside the driven season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ips Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 1 hour ago, Old farrier said: So between £20. And £50 A bird dependent on the bag Never really thought of it in those terms to be honest. Early days bag is 40 ish obviously failing off to only a 12-20 on last half of season. Two teams eight guns standing. I think however it works out per bird its cheap shooting and you get to work the dog. Not only that but a really good bunch of blokes ?

Walker570 Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 Nice to see prices have stayed about the same. The important aspect is the term DIY and does that mean all of the guns are expected to pull their weight because my experience over 30 to 40yrs of running such shoots it always comes down to the same half dozen, so we arranged discounts for the regular workers and that still saw the same guys turning up on work days. Amazingly they all turned out on shoot days or if we arranged a Saturday afternoon pigeon flight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ips Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 the work on ours is carried out by the two shoot captains I have offered many times to help out but my offer has not been taken up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Prawn Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 One of mine sadly folded because the maintenance just wasn't getting done, bird numbers went down, interest went down and repeat until closure. id gladly join another Diy as big bags not my thing and love a day with like minded folks so the people are often the most important thing in a syndicate as they make or break the experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowdy Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 (edited) I am in a small fun shoot with a average bag of between 16-26 birds a day and we shoot 5 days it cost the 8 guns £150 a year each Edited February 5, 2018 by mowdy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamSouthEast Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 What's the best way to find a syndicate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benthejockey Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 I’d be interested in joining a cheap and cheerful syndicate in Shropshire. I’m happy to do a good bit of work on the shoot, I don’t work afternoons so I’ve got plenty of time I could commit especially for a bit of discount.

In the old shoot there was 12 guns but I am looking at increasing this to 14 or 16 as we are not adopting a shoot one beat one. i have only just taken over this shoot and very much in the planning stage. I have been a member of the syndicate for 6 years plus The old shoot was not working, I think with the changes we are implementing we will see a bigger head count Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
