    Your better off getting a list of the gun clubs in the Wicklow/Wexford area from the Nargc and writing to them yourself, I went through the same as you a few years ago. I found the local nargc lad to be a waste of time, he asked me to send him a cv of my shooting experience and he would give it out on my behalf. I contacted him every few months and he kept asking me to send more cv's.

    Got the club list and contacted a few clubs myself got a lot of no's but got into a club in the end.

    Why dont you ring Hill top shooting in Newcastle and ask them for info, they are a target gun club but may have game club contacts, or try the gun shop in Gorey , surley he could help you.

    you should try and ring ashford gun shop they should have a contact number of somebody in one of the clubs.

    They are not that hard to find. Go into the local co op or shooting range and start asking questions. I checked the NARGC page and I see there isnt a contact mentioned for the County Secretary. By the way some lads dont like the idea of phone numbers being given out willy nilly. Do you know anyone in the area, you really need an introduction. Thats how most of us got into Clubs.
