RubyTex 1,957 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 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. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Seeker 3,048 Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 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.
