The days, which are offered from late-October onwards, can be tailored to suit individual teams requirements, but are generally set at 35-50 head, depending on the teams shooting ability. The days are structured in a relaxed and informal manner, largely shaped by the client’s requirements. During the day, the guns will walk in a line and shoot game as it rises in front. Guns may also be strategically placed below a cover or thicket while the keepers flush game in a mini-driven style. There will be opportunities for the team to take short breaks during the day at their leisure, with a picnic lunch also being provided. The days are charged at a fixed price of £1,850 per day for a team of up to six guns. If teams wish to shoot more than 35-50 head we would of course be delighted to quote accordingly.
