Flint Shoot |
||
|
The Flint shoot extends over 600 acres of mixed farmland. There are several wood of various sizes; the largest wood covers a valley of a stream and has fairly steep slopes. This wood has a release pen and is one of the main areas for the release of pheasants. The land is close to the Dee estuary and attracts wildfowl. The shoot has several ponds, which are fed and provide duck flighting. The shoot offers varied sport: pheasant, woodcock, ducks and geese as well as the usual vermin species. The shoot is open all year round for vermin shooting to individuals and groups. The pigeon shooting can be very good. From the start of the season until the New Year, shoot days are organised to accommodate up to twelve guns. Booking for arranged days is via the Shoot Secretary. After the pre shoot meeting in September, each member may initially book one early and one late day. Further shoot days can then be booked from October onwards. Places are allocated on a first come first served basis, but with consideration for the need to have a balance of experienced shots and sufficient dogs to work the ground. On each arranged day one
experienced member is appointed as the Shoot Captain for
the day and controls the day, with particular regard for
safety. During the rest of the year individual members
or groups may shoot vermin at any time but must book on
with the Shoot Secretary prior to shooting. During
January the shoot is open for members to shoot any legal
quarry. Again prior booking with the Shoot Secretary is
required. |
