Interest free finance at quality shoots

If you've ever seen a day's shooting advertised, but have then realised that your bank balance won't stand the blow, we've got something for you.

This year, naturally, guns are organising days later than ever, and we appreciate it’s difficult spending a large sum of money on a day at the last minute. We’ve had our thinking caps to establish what we can do to help you enjoy more shooting in this difficult season.

The result: interest free finance on shooting - shoot now, spread the cost. Buying a day on interest free finance will cost you no more than normal, interest free meaning it's the same price as paying in full today, but instead, spreading that cost over 12 months.

Interest free shooting finance

Because the finance offering is interest free, you won’t be paying a penny more than you would if you bought the shooting today and paid in full. With the shoot now, pay later option, you put down a 10% deposit now, and then spread the remaining cost of the peg over the next 12 months.

This year has not been ideal to say the least. The situation has meant we are all committing to days later than we usually would be, and as shoots need the funds to lay on days, it makes it an even more bitter pill to swallow. We are therefore delighted to bring you a range of incredibly compelling opportunities that you can take advantage of this season.

The first thing many ask is how it can be the same cost? It is: interest free finance is exactly that. Here’s an example to explain:

How much does it cost?

Let’s take a look at a real-world example, shooting a 200 bird day at Kempton:

Kempton, Shropshire

Saturday 21st November

200 birds

1/9 pegs available

Total cost: £1,120 per gun

Finance cost: £112 deposit + 12 x £84 = £1,120 per gun

How do I book a day?

The process is almost the same as normal:

Contact a shoot offering days on finance through GunsOnPegs and speak to them directly about the days they have available
Once you confirm what you’d like, the shoot will notify us and we’ll send you an email to complete a quick finance application, ask you to sign the contract for the day and collect your 10% deposit
Once your 10% deposit is paid, you are confirmed on the day
Future payments are made over 3 - 12 months by direct debit to Duologi
If you wish to pay off the funds early, you can do so at any time without charge

There is a maximum of £15,000 finance available to any one individual, so for some days, if you wish to take a whole day for example, it must be booked through multiple individuals who can reclaim the cost from their friends, or each gun can take out finance on their own.

This finance offering is unfortunately only available to customers domiciled in the UK.

Which shoots can I shoot at on finance?

We have organised this idea to take place at the following shoots to start with. A member of the team has shot at all of them, so we have added them due to a previous positive experience!

Kempton, Shropshire

Maesmawr Hall, Powys

Bettws Hall, Powys

The Ridgeway, Shropshire

Steventon Estate, Hampshire

Farleigh Wallop, Hampshire

Your money back if the shoot is locked down

Addressing the main concern on most people’s minds when booking days at the moment - if the shoot is in an area that becomes locked down, not allowing travel to the shoot, you’ll get your money back.

Cancellation scenarios

There are a number of other cancellation scenarios which we are very aware of, so to give you peace of mind, we have outlined each one:

Cancellation due to local or national lockdown meaning that the shoot cannot take place:
- The customer will receive their money back in full
Cancellation due to lockdown in the customer’s local area or the customer is ill with Covid-19:
- If the customer is unable to attend, but the shoot can go ahead, the customer will lose their deposit only
Cancellation due to bad weather on the day, or the customer is ill with another illness other than Covid-19, or unable to attend for any other insurable reason:
- In the event that a day is purchased more than 14 days from the shoot date: The customer is required to pay in full. As a result, shoot cancellation insurance is advised. In this scenario, the reimbursement from the insurance company will cover the cost of the gun’s finance payments
- If purchased within 14 days of the shoot date, cancellation insurance is not available. In this scenario, the customer would lose their deposit only
Cancellation by the customer, within 14 days of the shoot date, for an uninsurable reason:
- The customer would be required to pay in full

Requirements to being able to take out finance

Each customer must meet the following criteria:

Minimum age 18 at application stage, maximum age 75 at agreement end date
Permanent UK address
