Pigeon shooting permission

[jultaylor1972 2]

I’ve been offered some pigeon shooting permission at the local harbour . In order to get a signed, sealed and delivered deal I have to provide a risk assessment as to how its going to be done and how Im going to make it safe when I go. Apparently they had some lads there a while back who shot one of the nearby residents cats and there was an uproar at the time – this is the rationale for having to provide a risk assessment. So, has anyone got any suggestions as to what I should put together to show that I’m safe and trustworthy? Ive put this on two boards to get more responses. Thanks in advance.

Risk assessment did you get any answers, I,m going to work now but thinking you need to be writing no shooting in land only out to sea no shots below x height, mail me back i'll have a better think on it.

I occasionally have to do risk assessment for foreign trips and filming shoots. Make yourself up a template (I think Microsoft Office or Word have things you can use) and think up categories. Copuld be something like

 

Potential dangers: passers-by pets vehicles protected birds/animals

 

 

And under each ehading dscribe the possible danger and how you will avoid it - like, as a previous reply said, only shooting out to sea and only if the sea is clear of boats and non-terget species for xx metres.

 

Maybe have a box for who you would inform on the day.

 

good luck.

Not sure if you've got anything yet, but if not the attached document will give you an idea of what to start off with. 2 examples are given in the table, just think of all others which might apply and follow the process.

Im new to the hunting world. I only just got my gun and been out out a few times, but where i go has not much to shoot at.

Is there any chance some one will let me on their land who has some live game in and around the antrim or the north of Ireland
