stevieskin 4 Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 (edited) 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 Edited April 13, 2010 by stevieskin Quote Link to post

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.

Sweeney-Todd 208 Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Hiya Rossy. Keep trying buddy, youll get some Reading post's like this, make me realise just how lucky I am to have permission. Wish you luck buddy. ATB. Bill. Quote Link to post
silentshot1 206 Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 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...
