Out in the country
You may have been thinking about getting involved on a shoot day as the end of the season draws closer. A beaters’ day, perhaps?
You may also be considering joining a team for next year. If you are, your first point of contact would normally be the gamekeeper, possibly via a mutual friend who already helps out, or an advert in a gunshop local to you.
The most common way to help out during the shooting season is to join a beating team. This can evolve into other jobs on a shoot day and to helping out of season, possibly in exchange for some pigeon shooting.
