Nuggetsa Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 Hi all I now live in Essex, moved from South Africa where I have had a gun in my hands most weekends since I can remember. Now I am in the UK I need to try find some farms so shoot pest birds on and am struggling as they always seem to have the we have someone that shoots here look but then I drive away and there hundreds of birds on the land. So looking for any ideas or helpful words to try get past the “wall” I keep facing as there is only so many clay's I can shoot. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPP Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 Try beating on local shoots, maybe wildfowling clubs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have looked at joining one closer to Sep time before the season starts. Hoping to find something close so can go after work for few hours.

PPP Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 Due to the prevalence of antis very little is advertised online, you best bet is to ask in a friendly gunshop, or Leech’s if you can’t find one 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks https://www.blackwaterwildfowlers.org.uk/ The BWA have pigeon shooting available too. A great club, with open membership, I believe, and on your doorstep. 14 hours ago, PPP said: Due to the prevalence of antis very little is advertised online, you best bet is to ask in a friendly gunshop, or Leech’s if you can’t find one 😀 Edited July 3, 2019 by Penelope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
