Driven

Information

Driven Shooting or Hunting is done by a party of guns standing with beaters and dogs pushing big or small game toward them. Before the shooting begins, the keeper/person in charge will explain the formalities. Lunch is usually offered by the estate. Breaks are expected in between drives.

Expectations

In a typical driven shooting day one can expect between 100 to 400 heads of feather-game for the whole party of guns but the number varies with certain species (ie Pheasants, Partridges).

Group

We can cater for parties from as few as 2 guns but only for shooting ducks and pheasants. A typical party for other type of game 5 guns or more.

Type of Game that can be Driven

In Scotland: Grouse, Ducks, Pheasants, Partridges, Mountain Hares
Overseas: Wild Bore (in Romania)

Special notes

A driven game shooter would expect high spectacular birds to make the shot as challenging as possible. Even if this kind of things cannot always be achieved due to the fact that one is dealing with nature, we'll try to do our very best to make this happening. We discourage low shots as it is dangerous, unsporting and damaging for the sport's image.

Period

Best period for driven shooting is dependent on the species. Consult the FAQ page for more info.
