Penelope Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Does anyone know of an insurance provider that covers shoot cancellation insurance? I shall be booking a day's driven grouse shooting for October in the Yorkshire Dales to celebrate my 50th year on this planet, which is not cheap, so want to cover all possibilities.

simonm Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 If you look on the GunsOnPegs website they have an insurance page and so single day insurance underwritten by Hiscox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to join their Triple Barrel scheme first.

If you shoot a bit of driven pheasant if is so different, I have found myself shooting down at birds from the butt and towards beaters. At times it’s more like a bolting rabbit as they skim over the heather at less than eye level, and the noise they make as they are coming towards raises the hairs on your neck. I am at them start of October this year and can’t wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotslad Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 Glad u gt it sorted and i would say a wise decision when shooting at that time of the year, and even more so when its a special 1 day and u've worked and saved hard for it. Nothing worse if weather spoiled it Must admit we had some cracking days in oct and even Nov last season, sadly only picking up thou (apart from the keepers day) But Would be well worth getting some lessons on a clay ground with a decent grouse butt, be well worth it as very different to 'normal' driven or even walked up birds. I imagine shooting pigeons in a hide might be quite good also (althou its not something i do very often) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sound like a brilliant way to celebrate your half century Penelope , I cant see the Midland being the armament for the special day Look forward to the report. Time I celebrate my next birthday with a naught on the end, I doubt I will be able to make it as far as Yorkshire let alone going up to the moors , mine would be more like a Vera Lynn sing a long and retire to bed at 9 .30 with hot chocolate .

rimfire4969 Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 Just a thought on insurance and what a great idea it is for the moors. When we were on the moors last time out we could not get to the top to Shoot in the afternoon due to mist/fog. The moor up the valley cancelled their whole day and it should of been big one. It would of cost thousands. We were lucky that there were enough drives below the mist which did roll in and out to get a full day even if not the bag we were expecting.
