TOPGUN749 Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 No matter if clay shells were £250 a slab there would always be the rich and wealthy turning up at shooting grounds in their Range Rovers or BMW’s paying whatever the ground charged to shoot. To some a few hours costing £100+ is chicken feed,to others it’s half a week income! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyH Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 11 minutes ago, London Best said: Because it’s a way of life. It’s what we do. Yeah, I actually agree with that to a certain point. it is a hobby to some people who only want an outing with friends in a Sunday for example, 50-100 clays, bacon roll (or bap, cob, barn cake) and a nice cuppa. But for me, it is a way of life, I love shooting and wouldn’t ever give it up willingly yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's getting unjustifiably expensive to many including me. I refuse to pay daft prices for game shooting and have grave doubts on the morality and ethics of rearing things to be shot. I like my fowling but even that's costing more to a point where once my stock of ITM is gone will pack up. I started stalking a couple of years ago but prices here are going up so my FAC is going along with the rifles etc. Am getting to the point where I can find better things to spend my hard earned cash on.

BobbyH Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 I love shooting, being outside, the smell of the fired cartridges, being with friends, sitting down after a day shooting with a brew and cleaning the guns (OCD cleaning). I will still continue to pay for clays and cartridges regardless of price increase, but i have now decided to go from Eley to Fiocchi as they havent put thier prices up yet, and im sure they will preform the same! I may not shoot as much if the prices sky rocket, but i will still be doing it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly agree with the first paragraph, and budget will often dictate what you can and can’t do when it comes to shooting (I mean I’d love to be able to go pheasant shooting regularly etc but just can’t justify the expense, or find a local syndicate as they’re just all closed books / clicks). It’s definitely the hobby that’s has the biggest impact on my life though, I’m never happier than when I’m enjoying time in a pigeon hide and wouldn’t give it up for anything!
