Our Shooters

Our members shoot sub twelve foot pound air rifles, a weapon with an accurate kill range for vermin up to forty yards (dependant on the shooter), rimfire rifles with a longer range for vermin that may be wise to shooters at closer distances and take fox out at ranges to over 100 meters with a .17HMR and full bore rifles for taking out deer and wild boar.

Being in Devon we also shoot shotgun for control of avian species such as pigeon and corvids. Our members can set up decoy patterns to control pigeon and of course will do this on a regular basis to be agreed with land owners.

The members of Shoot-Watch are all vetted by us for discipline and attitude towards hunting. The members care about safe shooting, effective kills, no suffering for their target and of course respect for the permission that we have to shoot vermin on other peoples land. Any new member of the syndicate will need to be known to us for a minimum of one month in the shop and will need to demonstrate their level of skill with their weapon. They will also be asked to accompany at least two members not known to them on a shoot and demonstrate respect for the permission and their quarry and be voted in by the members. This is to ensure that we only select the highest quality people into our syndicate.

Shooting will be undertaken by a minimum of two shooters working together with a designated "Lead Shooter" being responsible for that shoot and new members will have to run a six shoot probation with existing members before being able to apply for a lead shooters role on any of our permissions. If this all sounds over the top it is to ensure that as a syndicate we offer a top quality service and total peace of mind to the land owners that have offered us permission to shoot on their land.
