“To shoot on the Artramon Estate is to shoot with friends”. From this simple desire comes the gentle welcome that has become The Artramon Shoot. Here you will be greeted with the traditional Irish language welcome of “Cead Mile failte”, a hundred thousand welcomes! Guests will feel at home and relaxed from the moment they arrive in a way that is truly unique to this green island. As we shoot Sundays many guests like to combine a two-day weekend shoot event. The German owned Artramon Estate combines the long family hunting tradition of The Walderdorff’s with the relaxed approach to life and true passion for hunting of the local guides in a fusion that is much enjoyed by all guests. (Perhaps you can also succeed as others have done, in getting the head guide to display his deep knowledge of quality Irish whiskeys and their local manufacturing techniques). Some guests may like to combine a trip to the International Wexford Opera with their visit. In Artramon you can enjoy challenging driven pheasant and duck, walked up shooting; pigeon flighting; wild duck shooting or indeed a day on the World Famous North Slob, home to some of the most challenging wildfowling. Guests coming to Artramon can have a program tailored to their exact desires, a single day or a full week. On a week’s visit The Estate becomes your home and you can decide on whatever program suits you, including free additions such as evening pigeon shooting.

For excellent pheasant shooting in Ireland, the Illaunmore Shoot is a truly unique driven shooting experience. As the name suggest, the shoot is set on a large island on Tipperary's Lough Derg. Shooting is a mix of mainly pheasants with a few partridges to spice things up. Days are run for 8 to 10 guns with bags of circa 220 birds per day and are made up of 4 to 5 drives a day. The day begins with guns meeting at Coolbawn Quay, where they are met by their first mode of transport for the day; a  landing craft. Everyone is loaded on for the short trip across to Illaunmore, where land transport awaits the guns. The first drive is usually in the center of the island and is followed by two further drives in the morning, one of which will be on the Lough's shore, before the guns retire to the shoot lodge for a splendid three course lunch. The afternoon holds a further one or two drives, depending on how the bag is going. These include one of the famous shore drives, with the chance for some very testing long crossing birds out over the water, for the pegs on the Lough's shore. After the final drive, it is back to the landing craft for the short journey to the mainland. Days are very well run with an informal feel and great hospitality to put everyone at ease to enjoy the day's sport. Based on Illaunmore (which means big island) on the river Shannon in County Tipperary, the Island is a truly unique driven game shoot in the west of Ireland. The day starts as beaters, picker-up, keepers, dogs and Guns pile on the flat-bottomed launch to be transported across to the Island. Illaunmore is shaped like an extinct volcano, with a plateau atop a gentle slope. This gives a natural gradient for the birds to swoop down to the Guns placed along the shore. Whereas most shoots offer birds on a 180 degree angle in front of the Guns, the unique topography of  Illaunmore allows a range of shots to test any team’s abilities. The island is situated where Lough Derg meets the strong currents of the Shannon, so it is needs the steady hands of the launch’s skipper to guide the launch between the piers. Once on the Island, the beaters are sent to their starting positions before the Guns are handed their shoot cards, which inform them of their pegs throughout the day. The birds are pushed from cover crops on the plateau above the Guns and they stream down the hill towards the water. Pheasant shooting over the water On the game shoots over the river Shannon, the birds are driven towards the water and a smaller neighbouring island presents the pheasants and partridges a target to aim for. As the birds gain elevation, they present the Guns with a tricky and challenging target.
