Hawstead Lodge Shoot

Hawstead Lodge Shoot is located just a few miles from the beautiful and historic market town of Bury St Edmunds in West Suffolk.  The shoot is set amongst 2000 acres of rolling Suffolk countryside dotted with small woods and undulations.  We like to think that whether your preference is for partridges bursting over high hedges, tall pheasants flying back to wood from covers or snap shooting over tall trees, we have something to please all guns.

We pride ourselves on running a traditional shoot and we provide high standards in both sport and safety and we expect the same from our teams of guns.    

Coffee, drinks and a good lunch with wine are all included in the day and you can choose between a field lunch or a hot lunch in our comfortable shoot lodge, either in the middle of the day or if you prefer, you can shoot through and eat afterwards.

We are more than happy to show prospective clients around the shoot out of season and can recommend or arrange good local accommodation for your team if required.  The days shooting will be confirmed on payment of a deposit followed by payment in full on the day.  We allow and expect a 10% tolerance on numbers of birds shot and allow a ratio of 3:1 in case of a shortfall on any given day.  On a 200 bird day we would expect a team of guns to shoot between 150-250 birds without overage.  Likewise if a team has had more than 3:1 shots (more than 600 shots on a 200 bird day) then it cannot be said that a team has not had the shooting and therefore would be expected to be paid in full.  That said, from past experience you will shoot the bag, have an enjoyable sporting day and a great lunch, so leave the worrying to us!

We can offer days of between 100-200 birds from 1st October onwards subject to availability.
