Terryorr 27 Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Well Lads And Ladies, I have eventually been ask to join a local Gun Club. I applied to join 2 years ago on a wait and see basis. This club has been going about 20 plus years and they like about 24/25 members. We do all their fox control with terriers and I have been a guest each year at xmas for the past 2 years. Last year I shot 5 pheasants out of 6 shots. Now I have had my application accepted and I can join. BRILLIANT. The 1st year is £300 and every year after that is £200, is this a fair charge. How does other clubs charge.

Terryorr 27 Posted September 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 No mate, it is a rough shooting club. Mostly pheasants and 2 or 3 flight ponds Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its not a club mate its a syndicate, thats why its a bit confusing...... It all depends on numbers of pheasants put down? Do you get to use the ground for pigeon shooting? Can you stalk on the place? All these factors come into it and alot more when costing to join a shooting syndicate... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Terryorr 27 Posted September 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Thanks for the replies lads. Each year I think they buy in around 800 young birds (pheasants) and rear them and release them as and when needed. They shoot every saturday during the season as a club but if your a member you can shoot on your own through the week aswell. You can also shoot the flight ponds, lamp foxes, terrier work etc when you please. I dont know the exact acreage of their permission but I know it is massive, 100s acres.

Skylark 3 Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 how many shoot days will you get for that? As said above, sounds like your could be onto one there. I got into a shoot through doing their earthwork myself. Atb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
