Pilling Shoot

At Pilling Shoot, hospitality is at the heart of the day. Run by the Holden family of Hy-Fly Game Hatcheries, based on the edge of Morecambe Bay, we bring generations of shooting and game-rearing experience to every detail. Start with a hearty breakfast roll and fresh coffee in our shoot room before heading to the field. Between drives, enjoy sloe gin, fizz, or soft drinks, with elevenses served if shooting through. Lunch is a relaxed or two-course meal in the farmhouse, made with locally sourced ingredients. After the final drive, return for cakes or supper and good company. Warm, flexible, and fully catered — the perfect end to a memorable day.

At the Hy-Fly shoot, the day is built around superbly presented ducks — renowned for their height, pace and sporting challenge. Our mallard fly exceptionally well over the coastal landscape, offering high, testing shots that will delight experienced Guns while still providing plenty of opportunities for less seasoned shots to enjoy success. Each drive is carefully planned to showcase the birds at their best, with a variety of angles and distances to keep the day engaging and memorable for all abilities. Expect exciting, well-driven duck shooting in stunning surroundings.

The ground we shoot over is predominantly flat, but with the right wind on the day we can present some challenging and testing pheasant and partridge drives. When people shoot over our ground they are amazed at the diversity, you can be stood on our marsh looking out across Morecambe Bay to the South Lakes and half hour later on Moss ground, surrounding a mature woodland drive or Silver Birch plantation that has been there for hundreds of years.

As Farmers we are always looking at ways to enhance the habitat and wildlife on our shoot, ponds, hedgerows and field margins are looked after in the best possible ways to encourage all forms of creatures to thrive in harmony

The shoot day will be hosted by Graham, Leroy or Trevor Holden. With over 100 years of shooting experience between us, we know how to show quality shooting and what guns expect on a day.
