Kirk Yetholm fieldsports

Kirk Yetholm shoot is approx. 10 miles south east of Kelso and approx 25 miles from berwick in the borders, this is spectacular countryside with really magnificent scenery and produces very testing high quality birds.

This shoot is not for the faint hearted, they are high fast testing birds. The topography is ideal for high birds. We shoot over approx. 3500 acres and have about 14 drives. The drives produce quality birds and guns generally shoot 1 to 4/5 shots. We do release some partridge for early season shooting, with pheasant for the main shooting. 

On the Crags drive and the March drive the birds [see pictures 3&4] are very high and fast which usually result in i shot per 5/6 shots. There are two other drives that produce high and fast birds of note the Mast drive and Crookedshaws. Because of the terrain we do not require wind to produce good high pheasants in fact the least wind the better. Even early season birds fly just as high and fast as the later birds, with a few partridges mixed in to make it interesting.

We shoot Mondays starting on 7th October, mainly 150/ up to 300 bird days, pheasant and a few partridges. Accommodation is available the night before and after if required at the local village pub "The Border Hotel", Kirk Yetholm. TD5 8PQ at the end of the "Pennine way".

We assemble outside the "border",at 9am ready for the first drive at 9-30am. Guns can use there own transport or they can double up with someone if the ground is very soft.

After the 2nd drive we have mid morning refreshments. At lunch time usually 1-00pm have a sit down Lunch all provided inclusive in the cost of the birds.

We do ask that you have your own insurance. Dogs are allowed to pick up providing they are kept under control.

Only safe experienced guns please.

It is wise to book early so as not to be disappointed.
