Then there is the ‘World Beaters’ flag, which pays tribute to Liverpool’s two greatest exports – LFC and The Beatles. But undoubtedly the flag of which I am most proud is the one with the City’s coat of arms and its motto – Deus Nobis Haec Otia Fecit.

The process of making a banner is quite a painstaking one, which I enjoy as it gives me a focus,” Mark explained. People have suggested various shortcuts I could take – using a projector or using a laser cutter – but I am a bit old school about things like this. I do use a computer to draft my designs, but I am no whizz kid with graphics software – I just use Publisher. Dogs can also be used on the beating line, depending on the rules of the shoot. They will need to be steady and under control. The best beating dogs should have no interest in retrieving. Despite being an experienced Shot, and an instructor myself, I am still a believer in the need for coaching; it is impossible to watch yourself, and a good coach will be able to pre-empt your faults and reverse bad habits before they become entrenched. Confidence plays a pivotal role in all forms of shooting and a coached session leaves me better prepared and mentally focused for this special day. It was through a conversation with a group of ladies who regularly beat for a local syndicate shoot that I asked them if I could join them and they welcomed me.”Before all the meticulous work leads to the final product, however, an idea must first be born – from words, phrases, a rough sketch or even the vaguest of concepts. If you are offered game then take it and cook it. (You’ll find some excellent pheasant recipes here.) Loading may look easy to the uneducated eye, but it is without a doubt a true art The legendary tip However this money cannot replace a regular salary (and it’s been hit hard by Covid restrictions) and in any case shoot earnings have to be declared and are taxed accordingly. Few complaints

His love of the moor, of the grouse that live there and the shooting that preserves it all is deeply embedded. I also like his shooting philosophy; you do not improve your shooting to kill more grouse, you improve your shooting to kill grouse cleanly: a good shot is a humane shot. Beaters cover huge distances over rough terrain to drive birds over the Guns – without them, the shoot wouldn’t happen Hardworking beaters From growing up in Birkenhead in the 1980s and watching the greats ply their trade to 2005 when the first seeds were sown for what first be a passionate hobby, supporting Liverpool has been central to it all.

I have also heard the story — perhaps an urban legend — of a team of wealthy Guns visiting the UK for a few days’ shooting. Their loaders were basically their personal assistants for the duration of their stay, including driving, minding, loading and taking care of the guns. Upon departure,
one of the Guns — who had bought
a brand-new Range Rover for his stay — simply handed their loader the
keys of the 4×4 as their “tip”. It makes me think of another famous lyric, from Ferry ‘Cross The Mersey – ‘We don’t care what your name is, boy, We’ll never turn you away’. It’s what our club and our city are all about -its what sets us apart – and it is more relevant today than ever, with racial intolerance on the rise nationally.

The role of beating on a shoot day can vary greatly depending on the shoot you join. Beating on a grouse moor, small local shoot or large commercial shoot will have different expectations of their beaters. Working as part of the beating line is a great experience and a lovely day out. Beaters also use flags as flankers to try to move the birds to fly in the right direction. You may be given a radio to report on various stages of a drive, such as when you have reached a certain point, or have met up with another line. Communication plays a vital role in ensuring a shoot day runs well. Some keepers can get very stressed, some are quite chilled, but remember they have worked all year to provide the sport on a few days in the season and have a great personal investment in how a shoot day goes. New social horizons Follow the directions you are given and don’t decide that you know better than the gamekeeper or shoot captain. If they ask you to do something new on a shoot you should never reply: “The last keeper here never did it like this” or “we don’t normally do it that way.” The gamekeeper is the captain and beaters need to follow directions if they are to play a useful role. Otherwise you may as well go home. Make sure you arrive promptly and don’t be offended if the keeper, who sounded pleasant on the phone, appears a bit gruff. Keepers have a lot on their mind on a shoot day and exchanging pleasantries when they have 100 things to think about is the last thing they need. When it comes to high maize crops ask your next-door neighbours where they are and adjust your position accordingly.Jeremy Bird is no ordinary coach. He has spent much of his life on the competitive international shooting circuit. A champion Olympic Skeet Shot, his career has resulted in many notable successes and records; representing England and Great Britain, he was the first British shooter ever to shoot 125/125 in competition, twice winner of the Home International and multiple international medal winner. Perhaps what makes him yet more amazing, in my eyes, is that he does this on top of his ‘day job’, farming cattle on his family’s Northumbrian hill farm. Either way, I work closely with them to produce a finished design that they will be happy with, and I am a pretty creative thinker with lots of ideas of how different fonts etc. can be used to improve the impact.
