Ross Ingamells Secures England Under 21 Place

Shooting Lincs... would like to congratulate Ross Ingamells on securing a place on the England Under 21 Clay Shooting Team, well done Ross. Ross, who is working as a joiner in the family business secured his place in the sporting team after successfully scoring in six selection shoots across the country. Ross has been involved in shooting since the age of ten and has been the head beater for the Stixwould shoot for several years.

What To Do With Used Shotgun Cartridges?

Have you ever wondered what to do with all those used cartridges? Do you just throw them away or worse still leave them behind? Now there is an environmentally sound way to dispose of them. A new Lincolnshire company called Agri-Cycle will take your cartridges and recycle them. To use the scheme you need to contact Agri-Cycle at info@agri.cycle.uk.com, they will send you a bag in which you can place your cartridges whereupon they can then be given to Agri-Cycle and turned into useful products. Good hey!

Countryside Thefts

The shooting press has recently highlighted several incidents of gundog theft in the Lincolnshire area. Owners should be aware that this is happening and take the necessary precautions to ensure their dogs are secured at all times. In some theft cases, the owners were away from their dogs for less than five minutes and they were taken. Also be advised that rural crime is on the increase. With more people unemployed and in need of quick cash, easy pickings are being sought in the countryside. Be vigilant and keep your property, dogs and possessions secure. Dogs should be micro-chipped and as an added deterrent, tattooed. Do you own a 4x4? If yes, keep it close, thieves have been steeling the catalytic converters; the 'Cats' are expensive and contain platinum and rhodium which are valuable materials. As 4x4s have a large ground clearance, thieves can easily slide under and remove the catalytic converter in minutes. Vehicles which have mainly been targeted include the Landover Discovery, Mitsubishi L200, BMW X5, Mitsubishi Shogun and the Ford Ranger. Replacement 'Cats' for these vehicles can cost upwards of £2,000.

We have also added the latest Open General Licences from Natural England, everyone who shoots wild quarry should be familiar with the contents of the Open General Licences.  To download and view the images you will need to have a copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader™, this is also downloadable from the Forms page.
