Norfolk, United Kingdom
Situated in the heart of the Norfolk broads, 15 miles from both Norwich and Great Yarmouth and 2 miles from the coast, this **fully driven** shoot has been successfully established over 42 years offering mixed days to full teams and individual guns. The days are hosted by **Graham Grapes**, a local gamefarmer, along with his keeper and loyal beating and picking up team. The shoot offers **125 bird days** with the bag containing predominately **pheasant** and **partridge**, although **duck, geese, woodcock** and **snipe** are frequently featured. The days consists of 5 to 6 drives incorporating maize, sorghum, wild bird and mustard cover crops, woodland, marsh and fen. With the shoot covering over 2500 acres, the days certainly provide you with a traditional Norfolk countryside experience. The day begin at **8.15** at Sutton Staithe Hotel with bacon rolls and hot drinks on arrival. After meeting your host and receiving a short safety brief, the first drive commences following a short journey in the gunbus. Full hospitality includes drinks plus homemade mince pies/sausage rolls mid morning, a light lunch out in the field, followed by a delicious two course meal back at the Hotel. Although the shoot provides its own picking up team, guns are most welcome to also bring their dogs along too. **The shoot prides itself in providing good value for money shooting, along with a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. As a result several guns return year after year!** The cost for the day is £575 per peg, or £5750 for the day. There is **no** charge for overages. **Duck flighting** is available from our 6 daily fed ponds, for individual guns or teams of 5. Waterfowl that are commonly shot during these flights includes **teal, mallard, gadwell** and **geese**. Pricing is currently at **£100 per gun**, with picker ups being provided. There are several local places to stay including the Sutton Staithe Hotel, Wayford Bridge Hotel and the Harnser ph which are both short distances from the morning meeting point. Several other shooting packages are also available with the driven days offered at the **Wayford and calthorpe shoot**. These not only include the duck flighting, but **boat sea fishing** and **deer stalking** also. Red, Roe, Chinese water and Muntjack deer are particularly plentiful, with morning and evening stalks both being possible accompanied by a guide.
