We shoot over 400 acres of woods and 1,200 acres of farmland, which offers challenging and interesting shooting, particularly the river drives.  We can accommodate days of 150+ birds and match the day to your needs. We aim to provide good sport in a very friendly atmosphere. Lunch is served in the shoot lodge and we generally serve game which has been harvested from the estate.

Greystone shoot takes place on Saturdays. The shoot comprises of around 1500 acres of woodland and game crop near Hayton, Brampton in Cumbria. In teams of 8, we work on a walk one stand one basis with approximately five drives for each team on the day, some members swap days to allow them to stand all day. Our last few seasons have produced bags of between 90 to 130 birds with some drives showing some fantastically challenging birds. The cost of a full gun is £1750 (Half Guns £875) This is inclusive of beaters wages and is for 10 days shooting. (More may be added) We begin the day with a bacon butty and whatever else tickles your fancy, everyone provides their own lunch which we consume in our own private bothy where we reside on an evening for an evening meal and refreshments. Guns are driven to pegs and beaters are also transported around the shoot. Our shoot is very family orientated with partners and children being welcome to come along on the day. We are also looking for keen beaters, preferably with well trained dogs. For further details, please contact Ben Hastings.
