Big Mat Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 What sort of shooting are you looking for, foreshore or inland? You've got a host of clubs on the wash who'd be able to offer day tickets on the foreshore, as well as the ouse washes nearby or even the nene washes.

Konnie Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 To shoot the clubs around the wash on day tickets you will all need to be BASC members then yo can look on the BASC website for day ticket clubs. For not too much you could soon put together a few days shooting on different marshes each day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver fox 1 Posted March 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 Yes I think you’re absolutely right , we are looking for guided duck and geese shooting at the moment anyway because we don’t have much of an idea so we thought it would be a good introduction and we might be able to learn a bit as well , there seems to be loads on offer up in Scotland maybe might have to travel a bit further Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a thread on PW some time ago. If you search you might get lucky in Lancashire but Scotland is your best bet. Do your research though as there are plenty of Sharks about. Mark Robson has a good rep i believe it's Pigeons All-day !!!!! Others on here who shoot Scotland may be of more help than myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
