East Burton Estate

if you want a big bag day with loads of birds shot go on a big shoot and pay accordingly, if you want a nice friendly day with proper varied shooting at a good price this is for you.[more]

I can recommend the shooting here thoroughly. It’s unpretentious and all about a good day’s sport. The duck flew brilliantly and we had some excellent pheasants too. It is also a very pretty area of land to shoot on. The picking up/beating team are extremely friendly and chatty and Tom was a fantastic host. The entire team had a phenomenal day.[more]

Had two days at East Burton, the first in October 23, on my own filling a last minute slot on a 100 day and the second a 60 bird day on 24 January 2024, the last commercially let day I believe of the season. In October there were plenty of birds, mainly duck, and each of the four drives was carefully managed to give all guns a fair distribution of the birds. In January Tom and Charlie mixed and matched 6 drives to ensure we exceeded the target bag - not easy at the very end of the season. Every had a really great time, Tom and Charlie and their team are great and this shoot is outstanding value. If you are looking for an affordable days shooting you won’t be able to do any better.[more]

Shot here at the start of October (dry) and January (wet). Plenty of birds well presented, beaters do an excellent job. A limited amount of walking is required with 4x4 transport available if needed, all drives a short distance from the house. Be aware the river floods heavily in the wet weather - this naturally limits access to the drives and how they can be beaten, make sure your wellies don't leak, bring waders if you have them. Overall a great day out, wet socks or not![more]

We arrived not knowing what to expect as 1st time we had shot here having found the day on Guns On Pegs. From the very outset Tom was very approachable. For those that don’t have 4x4’s this is a great shoot as all drives are walking distance from Tom. & Charlie’s home with your guns & cartridge bags delivered on the back of a Kubato !! We received a great little card at the team talk with all our names, pegs and name of drives detailed - we had 4 for he day. The 1st 2 drives were in the same place with you moving peg and facing opposite directions and boy did Tom and his team deliver some great birds, that are driven off the river in the distance so by time they reach you are a good height and moving at a nice speed - warning do not get carried away and pick your bird. The expectations were set and the following 3 drives did not disappoint. The elevenses and lunch were amazing and all cooked by Charlie (toms wife) I will be contacting for the recipe for the marinated duck bites and dipping sauce. Thank you to Tom, Charlie and their team for a great day, all guns are looking forward to our next day there in December were we hope to see a few pheasant too.[more]
