Welcome to Cornakey Shoot, a family run walked up shoot established for over 30 years. Set in 700 acres of farmland and steep wooded valleys on the North Cornwall Coast producing high quality birds.

We have two locations approximately 3.5 miles from each other, Cornakey Farm covers 250 acres, and is north of Endslee and Shears. The land is adjacent to Marsland Manor and has 1 pen at the top of the valley producing high birds.

Endslee Farm and Shears Farm have a combined acreage of 450. We have 4 pens on this land, 3 of which are on Endslee, the other on Shears, they are all situated within the popular Coombe Valley.

We are a small syndicate shoot that can offer days walked up with our members on Saturdays and we have limited days mid weeks available for groups.

As well as Pheasant and Pigeons, Coombe Valley has a natural bounty of Woodcock always elusive and challenging. We also have driven Snipe, these unpredictable birds provide challenging sport, however the numbers of these birds vary from season to season depending on weather conditions.

Members need to be of reasonable fitness as there are a number of different types of terrains to traverse.

We had our shoot reviewed in Shooting Gazettes UK shoot Guide April 2011. Heres what they said;

Shoot name: Endslee Shoot

What's it like: A friendly and relaxed family-run rough shoot established over 20 years ago. A variety of shooting opportunities are possible, including walked-up and driven game shooting in the same day. The driven game comes from the various pens situated on the grounds. The shoot has two seperate locations, Endslee Farm and north of that Cornakey Farm. Endslee Farm is set in the beautiful Coombe Valley, where being a good snap shot really helps as birds fly over the treetops. Cornakey Farm is set in a deep valley, making the birds extremely high.

Where: Morwenstow, north of Bude

Size: 700 acres

Quarry: Pheasant, pigeon, woodcock and snipe

Topography: Undulating fields and steep wooded valleys

We are looking for some new syndicate menbers for the coming season, so here is�a little information for the�2013/2014 Season

Fee for the season. Full gun £700 Half gun £400 We will walk the shoot from the first Saturday of October 2013. This will give new members a chance to get to know the land, whilst we dog in the poults. Shots may be taken at mature birds during this initial period.

Insurance. All members must have full insurance Rough Shooting is nothing like a day on a formal shoot, it requires sharp wits and the ability to shoot safely in all conditions. The majority of shooting at Endslee takes place in deep wooded valleys, its heavy going, you will need to have a fair level of fitness. We have the benefit of a drive below each of the 5 pens on the shoot. Beating will be shared between guns on a rotating basis

Well what another fantastic season with Colin & Matt Rowe, Great scenery and company. The shooting is challenging and sometimes unexpected as that wily woodcock suddenly bursts from cover! Any prospective Guns will have to be of a really good fitness level as the land is very challenging and there is a good amount of walking. Bag numbers really depend on the accuracy of those guns and also the weather conditions, This is Proper walked up shooting so each gun makes there own luck! Every weekend is different! Anyway cant wait to join Colin & Matt again for another exciting season.

A heart attack + arthritic knee have forced me to very reluctantly resign my gun on this cracking little shoot. If you want limp handshakes, false bonhommie, pegs and irrelevant frippery then this is not for you. If you love being challenged by quality birds and testing terrain, then this superb, well run outfit will tick all the boxes. It treads a fascinating path between Rough/Mini Driven sport and in 40 yrs as a professional commentator on Shooting sport for most of the leading field spot publications, I have never found a better value shooting opportunity. If you know of better Pheasant, Woodcock + Snipe shooting for less than £60 a day then I'd be very happy to know about it. Thanks Colin & co for an outstanding and most enjoyable shooting experience. Very sad not to be with you this year. Brian Gentry-Long

Mr. Gary Steven Eyers
