Hi Fellas,
Does anybody need a shooting buddy in the Teesside,NE, N or S Yorkshire Area?
Please get in touch and drop me a PM
Really need a hand getting some permission, totally swamped up here and struggling to get land.
Thanks in advance

All the best

Stavross wrote:That’s fine, that’s the problem I have spend more time sorting out who’s coming with me than getting out
Stavross wrote:Not a bother, there’s no harm in letting someone try something new, that’s how I started out with a day on the pigeons
