The way it works is this:
You pay your fee for the day. This includes 100 birds to be expected in teh bag by the end of the day.Bear in mind this is a syndicate shoot you are joining, not a full-on commercial venture. We are out for sport, not to count who killed the most.
We have aprotocl that on any given stand you will not shoot more then five birds. Thsi is because we are out for teh day and if two guns shoot 20 birds each on the first two satnds, we can all go home at 11 O'clock.
A gentleman does not gauge his success for the day on what he has killed in numbers. this is driven shooting with a twist but it is not pot hunting.
We expect Guns to select only sporting birds, we do not shoot a pheasant 20 feet off the ground, we want to shoot birds over the trees. 100 excellent quality sporting birds is a fantastic day's sport. 100 low birds blasted to get your personal kill tally up is not what we are about. the shoot is on atop-quality set-up and there are plenty of birds. There is no need to shoot rubbish.
It would be a really good environment to learn how the ettiquette of aproper driven shoot should be. That means you learn your zone when at the peg, you do not shoot quartering birds (whhich will be driven birds to your neighbour)etc. Too many people with teh cash to go on expensive driven shoots do not appreciate the right way to conduct themselves. This is one reason I'm setting up the syndicate - to promote correct values and discipline to the whole team. It makes the day so much better for all concerned.
As I said, prices about reflect cost to us but I would love to have fellow enthusiasts over to experience what we do at prices they can consider and experience real shooting in an established team of like-minded people.
You may shoot ten birds to your own gun during the day, you may shoot two; these are free birds and the weather, your peg and how well you shoot will all play a part in the outcome.
I expect we could sort out a fixed-price package deal in advance to include use of a gun, hotel, pick-up and drop-off, ammo etc and I love the idea of fixing the dates close to London gun auctions - makes great sense.
