Driven Wing Shooting
Wild driven snipe, woodcock, and pheasant across the West Country — no put-up estate day. The quarry is wild, the cover is real.
Devon is the heartland of British wing shooting — a country of high hedged lanes, frost-touched brassica fields, and ancient oak-shaded combes that hold some of the most exclusive sporting ground in the world. The quarry here is wild; the birds are everything a discerning gun could ask for.
Mornings begin among the keepers, beaters, and guns at the gathering. The day moves with the terrain — across rolling pasture, down through wooded combes, and along the soft ground where snipe rise sharp and woodcock flicker low through the trees.
The full Devon shooting tradition.
- Three days of driven shooting across some of the most private grounds in the world
