    anybody want a shooting partner.

    i have been shooting for nearly two years now, but cannot find land to shoot.
    i was wondering (hoping) that someone might want to help me out.
    i am not looking at nicking anybodys shoot, and if they didnt want me to shoot, i will be more than happy carrying your gear, holding lamp, fetching the dead.

    a little about myself:

    i am 18 years old, i have all my own gear, cammo, rifle, lamp etc,i am also fully insured through countryside alliance,i am a member of sandhall air rifle club, i have my own car, so i can pick you up if nessesary.i work full time as a bricklayer, but dont mind late nights, early mornings and weekends.

    thanks lads

    looking forward to hearing from you.

    Distance is a bit of a problem for me but with your attitude I think it wont be long before you're sorted. Try sticking an advert in the Farmers Weekly, they might not take it up straight away but you could cut it out, duplicate it and post it to local landowners along with a small CV.
    Good Luck.

    I am looking for a shoot myself, and like you I would be happy to take a "second place" holding the lamp or just carrying stuff for the experience of learning rather than anything else. It is very hard to get "in" on somebody else's shoot. But your attitude in the way you ask the question speaks volumes about you (in a very positive way). Do not give up asking and good luck in your quest.

    Another point is that if you join a club then you get to know the members on a personal basis, and when people know you they are more likely to invite you on a shoot with them. Join (or at least visit) every club in your area and get to know the members, You never know what may result.

    For example, Tawd Vale is not that far from you (my club), come and visit us, you may find somebody who would be willing to take you along. (I offer no guarantee, but it is worth a try)

    If anyone else is offering shoots out I'll come along. I'm not bothered about shooting, I want to learn some hunting skills.
