Not easy I am afraid mate.

I have knocked countless doors, sent out endless letters and business cards over the last several months, and still have nowhere to shoot.

Seriously thinking of getting rid of the HW100 and taking up knitting

ahh thats not what i wanted to be hearing..and you cant swap the hw for knitting needels.

been on the door knock and sent letters out but not getting anywhere either.

i even have a notice up in the shop window where i work and dont get much from that either. and i work in a gun shop at that.

it was all so easy where i used to work and live.

Dont give up hope, like anything thats worth having, hard to obtain, and look after it when you get it

Bill's said pretty much what I was thinking but a couple of idea's off the top of my head but you will need insurance...

 

- Any cards in the shop advertising for new syndicate members? If so take the numbers and call them.

 

- Ask anyone buying a shotgun (if you sell them) in the shop where they shoot... could be a local farmer or game keeper, or indeed know someone..

 

- There's a Flour mill in Nottingham (smith's) Do they have a problem with ferals? The one down here does.

 

- Stables (a quick google search produced a dozen near Nottingham)

 

- Golf Courses

 

- Hue Fearnley Wittington's land leasing website... If someone's offering land then some one will be growing on it and that will attract rats ferals and rabbits.... contact the land owner through there, but use subtlety, don't just blurt out your real intention, try and get a meet to look at the ground then move on to the subject when you are face to face.

 

- Private fishing clubs

 

- Airfields - grass or tarmc, bunnies love them.

 

- Wood Yards

 

- Country House Hotels

 

Hope it helps...

Took me forever to land some (pun intended) and it aint much (about 4 acres in total) but hey when you get it, its worth the wait

 

If you do want to swap for knittling needle's I' cando you a full set and a chrocher hook or two, I can even throw in a ball of 4ply and doubleknit to get you started (just dont tell the wife!!)
