LIFE IN THE COUNTRY: THE GAME IS AFOOT
Most of the days will include two drives prior to elevenses, followed by two drives before returning to the main house or shooting lodge for lunch. There are often then two more drives in the afternoon completing the day’s shooting.
You are offered birds that are suitable for all shooting abilities. We can provide hire guns as well as cartridges on the day. We will also arrange estate loaders on request, and supply in field shooting instructors if you would like to improve your skills on the day.
LIFE IN THE COUNTRY: GAME SHOOTING TRADITIONS
Observing the traditions and etiquette of game shooting is part of the enjoyment of the day, and many of the estates make the following recommendations
about dress code for the day:
- Tweed cap
- Shirt and tie
- Tweed shoot vest
- Light wool jumper in case it is cold
- Tweed jacket or water-resistant jacket (green/khaki colour)
- Possibly shoot gloves in thin leather if it is slightly cold
- Breeks – mostly tweed, but can be moleskin or corduroy
- Long socks and gaiters
- Comfortable and waterproof hiking boots, ankle boots or wellies
- Lightweight shoes, in case you have lunch in a nice house/room where wellies/boots will not be allowed and only socks clearly will be too cold to enjoy lunch
- With regards to the breeks, you can also have normal brown/green/beige trousers in moleskin or corduroy and then just pull the long socks over the trousers so they look like breeks.
