How do you find and join small local syndicates that have space for another gun?

I would pay a visit to farms in your area and speak to the farmers.

Get to know people and build up contacts.

Help on work parties - beat - get involved 

[Poor Shot]

There's a Facebook page called Game Bird Syndicate Places Available and Wanted where you can post and sometimes get lucky. IME it's just the shoots where the organisers are a tad ambitious with their pricing, have a bad reputation or a combination of both which don't get filled through word of mouth that advertise there.

Otherwise ask about on clay shoots, gun shops etc. I got on to one that unfortunately folded through an entirely chance meeting while doing some training with my dog. Shoot captain saw the dog and asked if I would like to beat on his shoot. I was invited to join the next year. The one I'm currently a part of was through a gun dog trainer that I used for a while.

The opportunities are out there you just need to put the feelers out and with a touch of right place, right time and you'll be in.

Found a shoot on here and also guns on pegs over the years. If it’s a diy shoot you generally find like souls who are willing to help out / get jobs done and this develops your network and other opportunities.
