driven duck shooting.

dicky82 · 25-09-2012 08:54PM #1

some of you may remember the thread i had up about the driven duck shooting i did with one or two members off here. anyway, the lad rang me earlier in the month to tell me he has the same shoot on this year. . . it's based in wicklow and was a very enjoyable day. lovely bit of lunch and we could take any amount of the ducks home with us.

so i'm just letting lads know.

Thats 6.so di we need 2 more people?

dicky82 · 26-09-2012 06:36PM

ok lads. as per request.

if you want to go for real. it's eight guns.
100 bird day.
if you shoot all the birds in the first drive your day is over. so i won't shoot for the first drive.

you can take all the birds home with you but after taking home eight and having to prepare another eight for a pal i'd say it's not such a good idea to take home that many.

so everyone nominate a day. see what suits.
my nomination is 11/11/12 if that doesn't suit everyone tough **** that's when we're going:D:D

hunterpajero · 26-09-2012 06:40PM

the day i went we shot 120 but were only charged the set price. given the price of feed at the minute that coupled with the cost of gas/heat lamps i'd say you'd struggle to provide 100 ducks for 12 euro a bird.

also the 150 euro includes a nice lunch. it would suit someone who hasn't experienced shooting ducks before. . .

dicky82 · 26-09-2012 09:07PM

lads forgot to mention that you bring your own gun and cartridges and MUST have a VALID gun licence.

Definately interested if they are though... Where abouts in Wicklow is it?

I was on that shoot 2 years ago with a semi,you just take the shot you are presented with and don't act the idiot unloading the magazine,well worth the money.

November 11 is good for me !!! Looking forward

moby30 · 09-11-2012 11:46AM

Was just asked by Dicky82 to put this up as hes in work and cannot access the internet. He has booked a driven Duck shoot for this Saturday and as two lads pulled out he has two places available, The cost will be 120 euros which includes lunch and all birds shot can be taken away if wanted. Its in Aughrim in Co Wicklow and It starts at 11:30 and will run for a few hours. If interested PM Dicky or myself.
Going along myself as Ive never done it before and from what I hear its well run and guaranteed to be a great day.

Mezamo · 09-11-2012 12:48PM

Looking forward to this

:D:D been so for a good while now....

moby30 · 09-11-2012 01:26PM

lb1981 · 11-11-2012 08:48AM

Good luck today lads , going mad i have to work (story of my life these days)

Mezamo · 11-11-2012 07:56PM

Good days shooting today. A big thanks to Dicky82 for organising it. Annoying that some did not turn up and also not even have the decency to call and let us know they weren't coming..

sikahuntejack · 11-11-2012 08:17PM

You had a good day shooting there:) To be let down at the last moment is bad did you have to pay extra money to cover those who did not turn up (spunk) thats not a nice thing to do not even a phone call to say you were not going:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Yea we all had to pay extra which in fairness everyone was ok with lucky enough. It was bad not to turn up without so much as a phone call. As I said earlier blacklist for him from now on!

120 shot altogether 4 drives. Bird/shot ratio we didn't count the empties

I think dicky82 has the guys number if you're interested in a day.

Owel.. That's a pity lad.. There were a Couple of others not able to go beacause of those no shows.
