Hi people of the shooting world! I'm Bethany- a young shooter who fell In love with the sport from hunting/beating to actually shooting with my own gun.
It all started when my mum and dad asked if I wanted to go beating. Beating is where there are people with a flag in a field while the guns are on the other side and the beaters walk and shake their flags to encourage the birds to fly towards the guns as it sounds like another bird flying.
So I decided I would give it a go. I was 7 years old at the time. When I went the morning after all of the other beaters and shooters were lovely and the land owner- Brian- was also very welcoming.
I enjoyed it very much and since then I have loved it. If you think about it this means I have been hunting/ beating for 5 years I'm 11 now so its almost half my life now! wow !
In this picture on the right is my dad who is also very much into shooting. So is my mum. I love this because although I love my dads advice, its good to listen from a woman's perspective. I love going on different shoots as they are all different in their own ways.
When I was 9/10 I got my own dog even though we have four altogether. Her name is Bonnie and she is a beautiful black cocker spaniel, I will do a full blog on her very soon.
From then to now I am still in love and obsessed with beating/hunting and it is something that makes me very happy.
I want this blog page to inspire other people to hunt and shoot and I would love it to be a happy place on the internet not full of hate.
Bye for now and I will be back with more blogs very soon!
Well done Bethany. Keep up the good work and enjoy our sport. I look forward to reading more of this blog in the future .
