We were given Andy Richardson's contact details when we were in Scotland last year from some English shooters we met in pub. They had a lot of praise for him. His phone number is 00447866395975.

Just out of curiosity is there much geese shooting in Ireland and does anyone have a goose gun. I know they're longer than average game gun.

There's a lad up the North that does it! Don't know a whole lot about it though!

Aer Lingus is the only airline that carry guns and ammo from Dublin. The last few years Aer Lingus have sub let the Edinburgh and Glasgow destinations to Aer Arann and Aer Arann don't carry guns or ammo.

We used to bring our own guns on plane and it was handy when Aer Lingus was doing it.
We then drove one year but now we just get Aer Arann lights and hire the guns over there.

Nice to have your own gun

Perazzi

It is nice to shoot your own gun for sure.
Can anyone tell me is it hard to bring over your gun to Scotland by ferry is there much problems with customs I know you need eu firearm pass northern licence a reference from where you are shooting am I missing anything else do,you have to have a safe in your car to travel with gun and how much ammo are you allowed to carry as well heading over to pigeonalldaylong in 2016 as he's is full for next year.Any info would be great .

Perazzi you have made a good choice on going to Mark at pigeonalldaylong

There is no problem bringing your gun on the ferry in car. Just get working
on your paperwork at the earliest possible opportunity.
The EU firearms pass is a free and your local Garda will sort that out for you
and it will be valid for one year, so dont get it too early.

If you know someone in Northern Ireland that will be a big help to getting
a permit for carrying a firearm in Northern Ireland. Mark might be able to help you with that one.

Mark will organise the Scottish permit for yo when the time comes.

Guns should be broke and in there cases.

Normally - no problems.

I dont like the driving and two days are lost driving. We just like to fly into Edinburgh airport, Mark's dad collects us at airport on Sunday night and we are shooting at daybreak Monday morning and fly home Wednesday night after our shooting on Wednesday.

What have yea booked and which month are yea going.

PM me if you wish.
