deanothehunter 34 Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 (edited) Thats very sad news, I really feel for you, I recently came back to it and had to find permissions again after a good few years break but managed to talk round old landowners who were very understanding, just think carefully before selling up, i did and regretted it and now have to buy all gear again, sods law I think they call it .........maybe keep your gun a while you never know things could all change on the permission front......usually the minute you sell up and call it a day, maybe try smaller sites like pasture as i did its not thousands of acres but thousands of rabbits .. Good luck anyway, all the best, Deano Edited May 8, 2013 by deanothehunter 1 Quote Link to post

TimS 49 Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Sorry to hear that mate. As a thought are there any good clubs near you? HFT is good fun too and my local club (Kibworth) runs a load of competitions - enough to keep me busy - Thursdays and Weekends - and are great shooting practice too. Perhaps there is a club nearby that can fill the gap? Tim 2 Quote Link to post
