08shooter Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 well guys this past 6 weeks have been terrible weather every saturday for my main shooting.shooting vermin round yards with fac air is great fun but im finding it too windy and cold to be sitting around yards. the results have been poor lately for the effort ive put in.i was doing the rounds today and left one yard when i met a local syndicate walking along the road to their shoot. i stopped with the owner who is my next door neighbour.i laughed and told him i hoped he d get more than i did today he asked what i was shooting and he offered me a day before the season ends.he also offered me a place for next year as they are a couple short. i was offered this a couple of years back and i declined.i think i ll take him up on it as its only a couple of miles round the road.i know id get a little shooting each saturday and leave the air rifle to the spring and summer time.it would also open up a few days at duck as well.i never have shot game but i think i ll pay him a visit and get him to put my name down for it.

Lord Geordie Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Congrats on the free shoot matey You will have to tell us how you fair after your day out! I got a free day for Beating and had a whale of a time. My 3rd game shoot in total as I used to be like yourself and shoot vermin with Air Rifle. It was a chance encounter and an offer to go Clay pigeon shooting that got me into the shotgun side and it just went from there! I am sure you will have a great time LG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I much prefer walked up but thats just MY preference! I don't like standing about getting cold waiting for POSSIBLE flushes overhead LG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al4x Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 with a small syndicate odds are some of the time you'll be a walking gun as well. You'll love it its very different to most kinds of shooting as its more predictable getting some sport. Add to that the comeraderie and banter and it makes for a great way to spend days during the winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
