An excellent day's shooting, superb birds delivered in challenging conditions (wind & rain). Charlotte and Dean really looked after us all day, will definitely look to return.

Very good value for money. We were lucky to purchase the day before prices inevitably go up. All the shoot staff went above and beyond to make the day as enjoyable as possible. We stayed in local pub/hotel accommodation which had a great atmosphere and added to the overall shooting experience. Have been luck enough to secure another day this season.

Have shot here for the last few years, when it was run by Edgcott, and was lucky enough to be asked by the new hosts to come back last year, and was welcomed even more warmly than before. The shooting is the best I have enjoyed, and for me is the highlight of the season. Travelling down to Exford for my day has become an annual pilgrimage. Safe to leave a positive review as I am already booked for 2024/25! Taking 7 good friends, 3 of whom have been before and were thrilled to be invited back. Brownie points 10/10!
