Woodcock shooting in Kent

Kent, United Kingdom

Bedgebury Park Shoot is set in the wooded valleys of the High Weald in Kent. Owned and run as a family shoot with a few let days, we typically shoot 150 - 250 birds across a large number of drives. The ground is some of the steepest in south east England, which combined with dense woodland makes ideal shooting country just 50 miles from London. We shoot a mixture of pheasant and partridges with wild duck also available. We usually shoot with 8 - 10 guns, with friends / girlfriends and wives also welcome (to a maximum of 18). The day includes all shooting, elevenses, lunch and tea but excludes tips for the keeper.

Gabriels Farm was the old Edenbridge and Oxted show ground. Now in the present day has been transformed into the countryman's home. It is a working family farm with our Sussex beef heard of cattle. Incorporating pheasant shooting by introducing Shaw’s of mixed woodlands as shelter belts dividing the 350 acres into manageable fields for grazing. We also planted a smaller Christmas tree and popular wood to provide suitable warm cover for the peasants and their four separate release pens to be based in. All the woodlands are now matured for the pheasants to fly at treetop height out and over to our lake complex. We are a family shoot. Each drive has different characteristics and provides interesting shooting from woodlands and rough brambles and grasslands to the river and our lake complex which gives us the perfect opportunity to watch our dogs work in and around the water, picking up. The shoot is divided into two teams of nine aside where each team alternate turns to shoot one drive then beat the next over 6 drives. A typical shooting day commences at 9.30 for 10.00 am with our safety talk then divides out to our first drive. After this drive finishes we meet up for tea/coffee and cake. Then proceeding to the next drive. We use a logarithmic spiral formation to encourage the birds to return home and the guns to return to the cars ready for the second part of the day. Duck shooting, the guns will be shown to one of our two duck ponds where all the guns surround the pond. Each shoot day one of the duck ponds will be flushed over the guns. To conclude our days shooting we gather in the farmhouse for a late hot lunch and to reminisce over our good day out.

Motts Farm Shoot is a welcoming and friendly shoot located just 10 minutes from Royal Tunbridge wells and only 1 hour from the centre of London. The shoot is over beautiful Kent countryside with rolling hills and ancient deciduous woods which is just made for driven shooting and makes for some very exciting and testing sport. The shoot days are mainly driven utilising our great teams of beaters and well experienced dog handlers. Towards the end of the season we will sometimes throw in some walk up drives into the mix for a bit of variety. The day normally start with a meet and greet at Motts Farm and a small swindle on the shot/bird sweeps. After the safety talk we set out to the first 2 drives of the morning and then two further drives after a quick elevenses in the field. We then head back to our comfortable shoot lodge for a late lunch. We will normally finish the day with a final duck drive after lunch. We are a friendly and enjoyable shoot but we have an emphases of safety and low dangerous shooting will not be tolerated.
