Game shooting in Buckinghamshire

Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom

The shoot is an important part of the Carington Estate, which embraces property interests near Marlow and High Wycombe Much of the Estate is farmed, either in-hand or by long-standing tenants. Principal crops are wheat and barley, whilst grassland provides pasture for an expanding sheep flock. The shoot is based near Marlow and covers approximately 1800 acres of undulating farmland and woods offering a variety of challenging drives. The first entry in the family Game Book is dated the 28th October 1869, when the Prince of Wales (who later became King Edward VII) was the principal guest and the bag was recorded as a total of 446\. The Game Book also records there were 12 Kangaroos in the coverts (which were not shot!) We look forward to welcoming new and previous shooting guests to come and enjoy high quality and challenging shooting both partridges and pheasants in the Chiltern Hills in an enjoyable and relaxed atmosphere. We offer an imaginative variety of quality drives as well as regular refreshments and an excellent lunch. For many people we have the significant advantage of being located less than 30 miles from Central London (which removes the need for some people) for overnight accommodation.

Our typical package would consist of 6 drives across the day. The day starts with bacon rolls, tea/coffee and a short briefing to cover the basics and safety. We head out into the grounds for 6 drives broken up in the middle by light refreshments served in the grounds between drives. Lunch follows which consists of 2 or 3 courses from a set menu. Our guests are then invited to relax in the lodge and enjoy a well earned drink! Most of our drives are shot by 4 guns at a time, and although we don't fix the bird count on any drives we would advise approximately 50 cartridges per gun for each drive. On average across a sim day we would expect each gun to use around 300-350 cartridges. The above package is priced at £195.00/gun. This includes full catering throughout the day and an alcoholic beverage with lunch. Cartridges are not included and we would advise bringing 400/gun to cover the day. As you would expect we require fibre wad cartridges to be used on our sim days and we have a plentiful supply available for sale should they be required, please let us know if you will be bringing your own. Spectators are welcome at our events however catering costs will apply.
