So Saturday saw my first Saturday joining my Walk one stand one saturday Sydicate.
Based on the Grimsthorpe Estate at Norwood Farm. Just through Corby Glen.
Meet point was the Diner off the A1 at Colsterworth.
Suitably fed and tea'd we set off to meet at the shoot.
Good crowd of guns and team of beaters.
All the Guns had dogs, a mix of Spaniels and Labs.
I was standing the first drive.
Raining steadily I saw nothing worth shooting at.
Lovely deer as I took to the peg though.
Next I was beating for the fellow guns. Hard work through fairly high bramble but the guns saw a good number of shootable birds.
The line was maybe ten or eleven with a mix of dogs. Terriers, Labs and Spaniels working well together to flush the wood.
We were mainly standing the rides and tracks through the woods. Snap shooting the order of the day.
For a small shoot it's well organised with a fair but harsh shoot captain barking through the woods at the beating line making sure we worked hard for the guns.
Lunch was a pack up and the tips a tenner really making this type of Game shooting very affordable.
The bag was 51 of which I added only 4 (4/8)
All birds were taken by the shoot for eating.
Me with my Nephew on return.
Looking forward to the rest of the season.
