B725 Posted February 26, 2023 Report Share Posted February 26, 2023 This season just gone on our new little syndicate we just put the gun's wherever but this next season we have decided to draw the numbers to make it fairer, I looked at buying a set of numbers but then decided to make my own just using some bits of scrap hard wood. I gave it an oil finnish rather than varnish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B725 Posted February 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2023 I'm quite pleased with it but not sure about the oil finnish as its slightly discoloured the middle piece of wood, I don't know what wood it was just a bit of hard wood.

I resolved that problem when I ran a shoot. The draw comprised the coloured button badges you had at primary school with peg numbers on. After the draw they were issued to the guns and told to wear them. Lost or unworn badge =£fine 😂😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Harris Posted February 27, 2023 Report Share Posted February 27, 2023 Has anyone devised a numbering system where you can change pegs and be next to a different neighbor on each drive?????? Nothing more infuriating that being next to an unsafe shot or a greedy ****** all day. HELP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Harris Posted February 28, 2023 Report Share Posted February 28, 2023 Ditchman , I have read your post but it doesn't explain an alternative numbering system ? I would like a system where yo can move up OR down to be with someone different either side of you ! If that is possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For greedy shots well, last one we had I he won't be back on the shoot. Same would go for unsafe shots. (I did give him some sarcastic comment) All you are doing is moving the problem onto someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is possible? you are wandering into dangerous teritory........nothing is perfect in this world.....game shooting (pheasant)...brings the best and worst out in all of us.....i have stood on a peg and shot 11 very good birds straight off....i have then put my gun into my slip and trotted over to the gun on the left or right of me ..who was not getting any shooting and ordered him to scuttle over and take my peg for the last few mins...so he can get some shooting for that drive....... when one does that you get a friend for life and a smashing day with lots of smiles and laughter............also shoot owners remember that ..and if you find you have a spare day to fill and phone the owner at short nortice...he will "sneak " you in to the line or as a back gun....and you will also get asked to shoot at the gun dog trails (another great free day)..

Peter Harris Posted March 3, 2023 Report Share Posted March 3, 2023 John Humphreys the Shooting Times contributor did devise a system that involved odd numberings that enabled you to have different neighbors on each peg , but I cannot find it or remember it .Imagine paying a high price for a nice day out on a posh shoot , only to have your neighbor shooting good birds heading towards you??????

cardigun Posted March 4, 2023 Report Share Posted March 4, 2023 The old system of "up the odds and down the evens" works, but puzzles some people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
