HantsRob Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 Hey are there any fellow shooters in Hampshire? Just looking longer term at potentially forming some friendships to go to shoots as my friends don't shoot. Maybe we need a billy no mates (Billy no clays? lol) section to match people Slightly more shorter term, I am hopefully days away from getting my certificate, home visit was 3.5 weeks ago. Looking for someone super kind to let me join them within travel distance of Hampshire on Bank Holiday monday to shoot? It will mean I would kindly ask you to share your gun, but happy to buy the bacon butty and brew as warmup? I believe Ower is shooting but again don't know anyone local! Longer term preferred but this weekend also would be so much fun too Keep safe guys and dolls and enjoy your long weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferretlurcher1970 Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 Don't really clay shoot myself any more. Most of my friends shoot at spitfire near stock bridge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HantsRob Posted August 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 Ah I see. Spitfire is my closest but have been burning too much cash on lessons. Hopefully not for much longer! if they ever fancy a new shot joining, I’m always up for company Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HantsRob Posted August 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 Awesome I’m in the north west but plenty of grounds within 35-45 mins of each other! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoBeRt1990 Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) Ill probably be shooting here on the 19th September if you fancy it, more than welcome to share my gun if your licence isn't sorted by then https://petersfieldgunclub.co.uk Edited August 28, 2021 by RoBeRt1990 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferretlurcher1970 Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 Will ask. You planning on live game shooting as well. Have you thought of beating as a way on to shooting ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HantsRob Posted August 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 I'm on the fence about live game, partly because of the killing aspect (I do get the ecology side) but mostly the cost. I know there are beater days etc, But that's a lot of long days for a free shoot. I guess I am very early in my adventure and it's too early for that side of it for me I think.
