Don't rush into any thing what i did was i bought a book, looked through old posts researched it ect and tryed it out with some local lads who had been doing it for years to make sure i enjoyed it
Don't go and buy a load of gear i would reccomend a 4z net about a 50 yard net because there cheap and cheerful .
next thing is it a quick set a traditional net your after? I'm a quick set fella myself but there more expensive for starting out
hope this help atb t-r
Most of the old poachers guns are cheap but its all down to the condition because most folks back then would not bother cleaning them ect so they would rust the skeleton stocks would spilt is they where bumped about some farmers even used to leave them laid about in barns ect ect if you get one in immaculate condition they are wroth over £250 but they do have to be immaculate no rust no scrapes on the stock ect

sorry mate i should have put it better you cant by a gun at that age but a certificut houlder over the age of 18? "correct me if i'm wrong" can make a gift of a shot gun
Yeah go for it and buy a tractor to carry it while you on lol 10z will be very heavy but that's just my opinion because at the end of the day its each to there own
I Bought most of my nets from John hubery - DD Timber products there top quality all hand made and a large choice of colours and there a good price

I've been making my own for a while now its a hell of a lot cheaper than buying them, Drop John hubery a pm I buy all of my net making gear from him & he sells a good net making dvd and sells hemp and spun polly, needles ect ,

yes I have used it twice at night and the buggers don't half get tangle i highly recommend it But if your considering using it for a long net it could be quite heavy But at the end of the day its each to there own!
