al4x Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 its cheap compared to a commercial shoot but still works out very roughly at £14 a bird shot or something along those lines. My local syndicate is about £800 a gun but averages about 60 a day over 10 days so pretty comparable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2shots Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Cheap syndicate that,you should also consider some let days,we used to take around 6 lads at £75 pound each per day for three days,provide food and drink and generally give them a decent day out,the profit was around a thousand pounds which we spent on fuel and cartridges etc,we had no problems getting people to come and it didnt affect our shoot days,they each got a brace of pheasant at the end of the day but a lot wont take them and just enjoyed the day.

Mungler Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 £1500 for a full gun, but for each full gun you can bring a guest. 10 days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 problem is you can't compare prices unless you know what kind of bags you are getting, £1500 could be dirt cheap if it was 100-150 bird days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devon Fox Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Mines free as well , very lucky indeed, we all help and put in as many hours as we can on a pals game farm (rearing 160,000birds), in return we put down whatever hasnt sold onto the shoot, last year we put down about a 1000 birds. Members are evrything from chippies, builders and engineers, so it works really well for the boss man and us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scolopax Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 I'll be putting down 150 pheasants and probably putting a dozen Turkeys in the pen aswell. The birds are the cheap bit, its the rent, pellets and wheat that start to add up. Then you have the other purchases such as additional pen wire, feeders, rat poison, even petrol for the strimmer. I don't even think about the petrol running to the shoot every day (probably twice a day)once the birds are in the pen. Expect to pay out easily over a grand to run my little bit of a kick around shoot for a year. Love every minute of though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Sweepy Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 We getting are birds this weekend. Just make the season seem that bit more closer now. So far we have been lucky with the birds . In the past. And not suffered to many loses before the season starts. The main reason being farmer Jon's elderly father watching them day and night for us. Not bad for a man in his late eighties. Now that is devotion for you . If it was not for him we would not have such a good shoot . xxxxsuzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webber Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 600 Pheasants to wood. A few wild duck on 3 ponds. 1 off ducking session in September / October 8 off beat one stand one Saturdays Roost pigeon and grey squirrels in February About 8 working parties. £350 Enjoy! I did the sums for our shoot, and its too cheap. We should be charging at least another £50 to break even, but I'm not on the comittee, how they will balance I dont know. I can see the hat going around! webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markm Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 (edited) Im still waiting for Markm to respond..... What do you want me to say. £16 per game bird head, shooting all year round (if you want it), the best syndicate bbq going for £15 per person and your own part time game keeper. Oh - forgot to add location which costs a lot in rent (the down side). Guns paid £275 last year. Edited June 17, 2008 by markm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasbeaton Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 (edited) £250 20-30 bird day, 10 days-pheasants, pigeons, and evning duck what more could you ask for Edited June 17, 2008 by thomasbeaton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markm Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 and he isnt wrong about the bbq.... 40 formal clays from automatic traps, as much food and alcohol (or soft) drinks as you can consume (until there is none left) and a qualified basc shooting coach to give lessons if needed, it lasts nearly all day, anyone who wants to shoot off the remaining clays can at the end then to the pub. £15 - I must be daft!!!!!
