Arthayes Farm Shoot: Set in the impressive Blackdown Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This outstanding family run shoot covers 1200 acres of varying, undulating countryside and has operated for over 20 years. We can host 4-10 guns in a team on a full duck day and 8-10 on a full pheasant day, we also offer mixed days on request. Throughout the day, depending on the bag and quarry, you will visit our memorable drives. Every peg is guaranteed to see a lot of impressive birds. The way we manage our ducks ensures they fly high off an elevated landscape. Our pheasants are quality, testing birds. Our birds have a reputation for flying exceptionally well, year on year, providing a great day's sport for both seasoned professionals and first timers. Which is why our guns always drive away with a smile on their face and their next day booked. Our main aim is to give everyone a great day! We are happy to accommodate smaller teams if you are prepared to shoot the bag. We are happy to recommend local accommodation if needed. If you would like any more information, please feel free to get in contact. We look forward to seeing you soon. Regards Henry.

Mike and Antonia are now in their eighteenth year of running the Honeycombe Shoot as their own business having been at Honeycombe for 26 seasons.  Like most people who run their own business they have worked very hard to establish Honeycombe Shoot and build up its excellent reputation that it has today, as being a classic Dorset shoot. In 2020 awarded Runners Up in the Nations Favourite Shoot Guns on Pegs Awards Our main driven days of 200-250 bird days are predominantly driven pheasant and partridge  showing fantastic birds in spectacular surroundings.  Meet in the gun room at Honeycombe Wood for coffee and pastries, plenty of elevenses of smoked salmon canapes, sliced loin of Honeycombe venison, home grown sausages and homemade soup and plenty of fizz and pink! Guns are transported around in our gun trailer throughout the day and are returned to the gun room for tea where their guns are cleaned and a brace of “oven ready” birds are provided on departure. WALKED UP/MINI DRIVEN SHOOTING SEPTEMBER & OCTOBER and NOVEMBER & DECEMBER Throughout the shooting season we host traditional walked up/mini driven Partridge days for 7-10 guns shooting  100 + bird days. Early season shooting in cover crops and woods over pointers and later on in other areas of the estate for example, along the river and also down on the westside of the estate in Whitfield woods. We also incorporate a mini drive or two during the day. These days proved very popular, shooting French and English partridges, pheasants and we even had woodcock and snipe later in the season giving good varied bags and some exciting shooting! These days are ideal for small teams of friends or individual guns who like a really relaxed days shooting.    Meeting in the gun room for coffee and pastries, stopping for elevenses which we will lay on return to the gun room for tea at the end of the day and go home with a brace of birds, a great day out watching pointers lock on point!     These days are affordable and are being held from September onwards throughout the shooting season running alongside our main driven days. Our aim is to provide a great days shooting no matter what type of day you book.

Traditional Estate Steeped in History surrounding the local area of Malmesbury, in the Cotswolds, the current home of the 22nd Earl of Suffolk, 15th Earl of Berkshire. Using the natural landscape and extensive woodland, some of the Cotswolds sporting pheasants and partridges are available, across 12 drives. Novice and experienced guns, together with their dogs are all welcome. We have days available for both full teams and individual pegs. Partridges are shown from well known drives including Ashers, Old Skillham and Conigre . These drives will succeed thanks to the tall trees, encouraging the birds to gain height and slide when in full flight over the valleys. Pheasant drives showing challenging birds from signatory drives benefit from prevailing winds off banks over the Little Avon River and valley.
