surprise us all

Aye don't get yourself in trouble but don't let them get away with it. Tell the fella you'll be meeting him at the first drive and you expect your money to be in his wallet ready to refund you in full. AND name and shame on here for all the shooting community to see. Ripping off honest people who just want to go about their past time is an absolute disgrace.

 

Let us know how you get on.

[kevmag 10]

Keep contacting them and get you money back

[ftm 3,357]

surely you know some one who can give the said person a "visit" thus keeps you in clear with lisence etc -billy

[rexdigger 54]

Even better idea if you know what days the syndicate shoot just go the day before or even better roost shooting the night before ;-)

[ftm 3,357]

lol thats my kind of justice mate

[The Seeker 3,048]

If the original post is as described then this is a total disgrace and the syndicate should be named to prevent others falling into the same trap. IMO

 

Certainly any shoot would provide shoot dates in advance? I think you should contact the syndicate owner/operator and ask what is going on and demand a refund.

I dont believe one word all shoots and them that run and keep them are all honurable people lol.

[The one 8,476]

Even though you have a shotgun cert theres nothing to stop you going and seeing the guy and getting your cash back plus interest

[The Seeker 3,048]

So what happened in the end?

[Rake aboot 4,935]

And more to the point,,was it Sweethills ?
