Hi fellow hunters.

I am going beating for the first time at a Peasant shoot. Can anyone tell me a good site or a book where I can read up about it, what cloth to ware, basically anything I need to know about beating. I don’t want make a mess of things because I am doing this in return for some shooting rights on the land.

Thank you for your advice guys.

I saw the gamekeeper today and he gave the same advice, only you guys forgot my packed lunch.

[ROB.BOB 21]

it better to take layers off, rather than freezing! (applys through the colder months)

and i always take more lunch than i might eat, id rather not go hungry and take some back with me

but the place i usaly go gives us a cooked lunch anyway

clothing wise dry and warm with a pair of good boots, listen to the keepers (very important) go where and do what they say they will tell you when to make plenty noise and when to stay quiet and mabye tap your stick or clap. if you have a dog make sure it behaves and deos'nt go mental, enjoy yourself and watch out for the guns when in the last approach as some may be very old and blind an dont wear feathers in your cap

Thank you Steve, it all sounds very tiring, first on my feet and arms and now you tell me that I have to use my brain and pay attention. Do you think they would mind me turning up in jeans until I get around to buying something more suitable or will I look out of place?

Where are you beating? I cant decide between London Colney or Sarratt. Food used to be top notch at Colney but the pay is better at Sarrett
